Ingredients
½ cup butter
½ cup sugar
One egg
2 ½ cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup honey
1 cup hot water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in microwave or on stove top. Next, beat sugar and egg together before adding the butter. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Alternate adding the three mixtures (dry ingredients, honey, and hot water) until blended. Finally, add mixture to a greased loaf pan and bake for one hour at 350 degrees. Let cool, cut into slices, and enjoy! Drizzle or top it with white icing for a wintery look.
