Recipe: Belgian GINGERBREAD

Ingredients (for 1 kg) : 1 coffee spoon of powdered green aniseed – 1 coffee spoon of powdered ginger – ¼ coffee spoon of cinnamon – 1 coffee spoon of salt – 2 coffee spoons of sodium bicarbonate – 250 gr caster sugar – 250 gr liquid honey – 250 gr wheat flour – 250 gr rye flour – 20 cl warm water – butter – 1 cake tin (1,5 to 2 l)

Put the spices, salt, sodium bicarbonate, sugar, honey in a big bowl, mix by slowly adding the warm water.

In another bowl: mix both flours, dig a well, add the other mixture. Mix well until the dough gets homogeneous. If too dry, add a bit of warm water (be careful, it gets liquid very quickly).

Preheat the oven (180°) for 10 minutes. Butter the cake tin, coat the bottom and inner sides with flour. Pour the dough, put in the oven for one hour. Check the cooking with a knife. Let rest for 5 minutes before turning out!
