For the icing:<\/strong>
1 tablespoons lemon juice
1\/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon warm water<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.<\/li>\n
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Off the heat, add the milk, eggs, and baking soda in its water.<\/li>\n
3. Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients, beating until very well mixed (it will be a very liquid batter). Pour it into the pan and bake for 3\/4 – 1 hour until risen and firm. Be careful not to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and anyway it will carry on cooking as it cools.<\/li>\n
4. And when it is cool, get on with the icing. Whisk the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add the water. You want a good, thick icing, so go cautiously and be prepared not to add all the water. Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set before cutting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
