Marinating:

1

Warming the liquids: Pre-heat the oven to 160—C. Warm the 125 ml of milk with the 200 g of L‰ge syrup and the 50 g of honey in a saucepan, just enough for the mixture to become fluid and smooth. Do not bring to the boil.

2

Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, mix the 250 g of wheat flour, the 1 sachet of baking powder, the 2 tsp of mixed spice and the 1 pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre to hold the liquid ingredients.

3

Make the dough: Pour the lukewarm mixture over the dry ingredients, add the egg and whisk until you have a smooth, flowing batter without lumps. Work quickly to keep the crumb light and airy.

4

Bake: Pour the batter into a buttered and floured loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes  the blade of a knife inserted into the heart must come out dry. Cover with tin foil if the top browns too quickly.

5

Turn out and wait: Allow to cool for 10 minutes  before turning out onto a wire rack. Wait until it has cooled completely before slicing, for a clean crumb and an even more fragrant gingerbread.
