recipe from Peabody
For shortbread base:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick (8 tbsp) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
For topping:
1 1/2 sticks (12 tbsp) unsalted butter
4 tsp light corn syrup
2 tsp molasses
2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan.
Make shortbread base: Sift together dry ingredients and blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press evenly into bottom of pan (base will be thin). Bake in middle of oven until golden and crisp, 20 minutes.
Make topping just before shortbread is done:Melt butter in a small saucepan and whisk in remaining ingredients until smooth. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, 30 seconds.
Pour topping:
Remove shortbread from oven and pour topping over, tilting pan to cover shortbread evenly. Cool in pan on a rack, then cut into small rectangles (8 rows lengthwise and 8 crosswise).
