Sticky Ginger Squares
Posted in Recipes, October 10, 2017
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9” x 13” pan, or line with parchment and grease the parchment.
Place the following in a mixing bowl:
1/2 cup RedRed Chews’ Ginger Chew
1 1/4 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Whisk to combine
In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup molasses, 2 large eggs, 1 1/3 cups brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Still until smooth. Pour over the dry ingredients in the bowl/and stir till smooth. The ginger chips will give it a lumpy appearance… this is perfectly normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges. Put the squares in the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. While they’re baking, make the topping:
Combine the following:
1 1/3 cups plain flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt; reduce the salt to 1/8 teaspoon if you use salted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
Work in the butter till the mixture is unevenly crumbly; some chunks of butter can remain. Stir in 1/2 cup RedRed Chews’ Ginger Chew.
Remove the squares from the oven, and sprinkle with the topping. Return to the oven. Bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, till the topping is a lovely golden brown.
Remove from the oven; you’ll notice the edges are pulling away from the sides of the pan just slightly – this is a sign the bars are done. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen them. Allow them to cool. Cut into squares: four lengthwise strips, then six crosswise, for a total of 24 squares.
