Cystallized Ginger Squares
List of Ingredients
1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup diced crystallized ginger
1/4 cup molasses
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar -- firmly packed
1/4 cup butter -- (1/2 stick) melted
Streusel Topping:
1 1/3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup butter
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup dark brown sugar -- firmly packed
1/2 cup diced crystallized ginger
Recipe
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, allspice, salt, baking soda and crystallized ginger.
In a separate bowl, stir together the molasses, eggs, brown sugar and butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, beating till smooth. Spread the batter in a 13x9 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Topping: Using a pastry blender, electric mixer or your fingers, mix together the flour, butter, salt and brown sugar till it's fairly well-blended; butter chunks will still be visible. Mix in the crystallized ginger.
Bake preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle on the streusel, and bake an additional 25 minutes, till the streusel is a deep, golden brown. Remove the squares from the oven, and carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Allow to cool completely.
These are great with dollop of fresh whipped cream on top.
