Homemade gingerbread is a staple of winter recipes: soft, scented with honey and spices (cinnamon, ginger, anise), it fills the kitchen with fragrance as it bakes. Easy and quick, it is enjoyed at breakfast, snack time, or as a festive accompaniment. For a tender result, use an aromatic honey and do not overwork the dough. You can personalize the recipe with orange zest, candied peels, or some crushed nuts.
This soft gingerbread keeps for several days in an airtight container, making it a practical recipe to prepare in advance for the holidays. Thinly sliced, it pairs well with hot tea, apple compote, or even a terrine for a sweet and savory touch. A warm seasonal recipe, perfect for warming up cold afternoons.
