Gingerbread is high on the list of my “comfort” foods. I think it’s because my brother’s baby nurse, Steppy, who also took care of my daughter, used to make it and also gingerbread men. The aroma of gingerbread baking is intoxicating. It brings back all the love and hugs and second chances, Steppy showered on all of us.
Adding a little fresh ginger to the batter gives this tried and true recipe an extra kick! Smother your gingerbread with home made applesauce and all is right with the world!
Prep time: 15 minutes
