Grantham Gingerbread recipe wanted.?!


Question: Grantham Gingerbread recipe wanted!.!?
Does anyone have a recipie for Grantham Gingerbreads!? My sisters and I used to make them as kids, and would love to do so again!. I remember we got the original recipe from an old white-fronted cookbook, with black and white pictures!. The gingerbreads looked like rusks when cooked, and were honeycombed and gorgeously chewy in the middle! If anyone does have the recipe, we would be most grateful!. thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
