Ingredients
- 50 gram butter
- 3 tablespoon golden syrup
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cup plain flour
- 2 level teaspoons baking powder
- 1 heaped tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- decent pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 cup frozen blueberries, gently warmed
Caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup cream
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 160°C fan bake. Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- 2Gently melt the butter and golden syrup together.
- 3Add the lemon juice to the milk and leave for 1-2 minutes to curdle. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, then add to the butter mix, beating until smooth.
- 4Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Mix in the sugar and combine. Add the wet ingredients and beat well – I use a wooden spoon to make a lovely smooth batter.
- 5Scrape into the loaf tin, shaking gently to evenly distribute. Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked through. Cool in the tin before turning out.
- 6For the banana slices, fry in a greased pan until caramelised.
- 7For the caramel sauce, bring the brown sugar and butter to bubbling in a small saucepan, cooking until the sugar is dissolved, then add the cream (careful, as it will spit) and stir. Cool to warm.
- 8Cut the gingerbread into thick slices and toast. Serve with the bananas, blueberries and caramel sauce – yum!
