Ginger-for-theTummy Gorp
Ginger settles tummies. It's also a sweet, spicy dessert treat. Bake this buttery snack in one piece, then chop it in bite size to package in individual portions.
 |
| Nuts optional |
2 cups flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 sticks butter, softened
1/4 cup milk or cream
Set the oven for 325 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Grease a 9 X 13-inch baking pan. Use a pastry blender to cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture is mealy. Stir in milk or cream. Mixture will be very thick. Add another tablespoon of milk if needed. Spread it evenly in the pan.
Use flour-dipped fingers or the back of a spoon dipped in flour to pack it in. Bake 25 minutes or until golden. Cool 5 minutes and cut in small squares with a sawtooth knife. Then cool completely before taking squares out of the pan.
Eat plain or dunk in ginger lemon tea. Nuts add flavor and crunch but aren't recommended for someone who is seasick.
