Gingerbread Steamer Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the egg, and mix in the molasses.
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend into the creamed mixture. Stir in the hot water. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan before serving.

Steps:

• Steam syrups and cold milk together.
• Top with whipped cream, cinnamon powder and gingerbread cookie crumbs.

Steps:

• Set a steamer insert into a large pot. Set an 8-cup steam pudding mold on steamer insert. Fill pot with enough water to reach halfway up sides of mold. Remove mold, and bring water to a boil.
• Butter mold. Whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cloves.
• Beat butter, sugar, and orange zest with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. With machine running, add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with molasses, beginning and ending with flour. Mix in chocolate.
• Evenly spread marmalade in bottom of prepared pudding mold. Pour in batter. Cover mold with lid or a clean kitchen towel secured with kitchen twine. Place mold onto insert set in boiling water. Reduce heat, and simmer. Cover, and steam until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 2 to 2 1/2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure water level is maintained (add hot water as needed).
• Remove mold from steamer, and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla-bean creme anglaise.

Steps:

• Combine egg, sugar, molasses, butter and water; mix well. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, ginger and salt; add molasses mixture. Beat until well mixed. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° until cake tests done, 20-25 minutes. Cut into squares; serve warm with whipped cream.
