Mustard Snaps.....in the oven


Recommended Posts

Did you use molasses? If so, you just might be surprised. Try with a confectioner's sugar glaze.

 

ETA: I put mustard powder, pepper, and coffee in my gingerbread.

I used Black Strap and they are DELICIOUS....but I'm limiting kiddo to one, in case it is tough on guts. Hubby is making rising squeals (guinea pig sounds) as he eats them off the drying rack.

We love gingerbread. What is your recipe!!!!????

 

I usually make this w/o the chocolate chips and topping. I have also substituted these spices into a somewhat healthier generic gingerbread recipe to good effect. It's also nice w/o the chocolate and with sliced apples placed on the bottom of the pan for an upside down cake effect. This is from the Chez Piggy Cookbook.

 

Chocolate Chip Gingerbread

---------------------------------------

 

1-1/4 c flour

1/4 t baking soda

3/4 t coarse salt

3/4 t ground ginger

3/4 t ground cloves

1/2 t cinnamon

1/4 t dry mustard

1/4 t freshly ground black pepper

1 T instant coffee or King Arthur espresso powder (or 1/2 cup very strong coffee, omit the water... I use the espresso powder)

1/2 c boiling water

1/2 c molasses

1/4 c unsalted butter

1/4 c brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 c semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 c white chocolate chips (I've never used these, only semisweet)

 

Topping

 

3 oz semisweet chocolate

1 T unsalted butter

 

Directions:

 

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 6 cup loaf pan or hugelhopf pan and dust with breadcrumbs.

 

Combine the dry ingredients (except for the chocolate and brown sugar). In another bowl, combine coffee, water, molasses and let cool. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar and beat in egg. Alternate adding the molasses and the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Add chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan.

 

Bake 45 minutes, until wooden skewer comes out clean of batter (there might be chocolate). For topping, melt, mix, drizzle.

 

I've also made individual servings in mini-loaf pans.
