Spicy Gingerbread

Hello again...long time no blog...it feels like every blog I write these days begins with an apology for my absence, but sorry I haven't posted anything since January, but unfortunately I haven't had much time to do much baking in the last year, however recently I've been experimenting with gingerbread recipes and thought i'd squeeze a few Christmas baking blogs in before the year is out! I decided to bake some gingerbread as I've been watching cheesy TV Christmas movies and that inspired me to do some Christmas baking, then it dawned on me, that to my recollection I have never baked gingerbread, so thought I should experiment. Also the photo's for this blog were shot entirely on 35mm colour film that expired over 10 years ago, I have got into recently got into film photography so I thought why not combine my passion for baking with my passion for film photography, hence why the photo's were shot on a SLR from 1979. Hope you enjoy the recipe!!
