STICKY CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD



Sticky Cranberry Gingerbread image

Sticky, spicy and full of cranberries, this gingerbread is perfect for the holidays. The recipe has been designed to make ahead, and will taste as good 2 days after baking as it does on the same day. (It will keep for 4 to 5 days.) To store it, wrap it well, stick it in the fridge and then bring to room temperature before serving. Whipped cream or crème fraîche, spiked with a little bourbon if you like, is nice on the side.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups/8 ounces/266 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 stick/4 ounces/113 grams unsalted butter
2/3 cup/133 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters maple syrup
1/4 cup/60 milliliters molasses
1 1/2 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon/5 grams ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon/1 gram ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams baking powder
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon/1 gram baking soda
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon/14 grams grated fresh ginger (from 1-inch piece)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment.
  • In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together cranberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir the cranberries over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and cranberries form a sauce that is syrupy and bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Aim to have about half the cranberries broken down, with the remainder more or less whole.
  • In a separate saucepan, stir together the butter, brown sugar, milk, maple syrup and molasses over medium heat. Bring it to just barely a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Do not let it come to a boil, or the mixture may curdle.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. Beat in the butter-maple syrup mixture and then beat in the eggs. Stir in the ginger.
  • Scrape the batter into the pan. Drop fat dollops of cranberry sauce onto the surface of the cake batter. Drag a long, slender knife through the batter in a swirly design, as if you are marbling a cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake it until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let the cake cool completely before eating it.

ORANGE GINGER STICKIES



Orange Ginger Stickies image

We often hear how food brings people together, but in the case of this recipe, it's absolutely true. I didn't know what stickies were until I met a woman named Bama and several members of her family in Charlotte, NC. Think cinnamon buns made with biscuit dough and whatever filling you like. After several attempts and many porch visits later, I've come up with a holiday version that I hope would get the stamp of approval from the Blackmon family.

Time 1h45m

Yield about 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2 cups (364 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for shaping the dough
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons (26 grams) vegetable shortening
1 stick (8 tablespoons; 113.4 grams) VERY cold unsalted butter
Nonstick cooking spray, for the work surface
1 1/4 cups cold low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons orange zest, from 1 large orange
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice, from 1/2 large orange

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and baking soda. Add the shortening and use your fingertips to pinch it into the flour mixture completely until the flour mixture looks like sand.
  • Coat the butter in the flour mixture, then use a box grater to grate the cold butter into the flour mixture and toss until all of the pieces are coated. Cut the butter into the flour by gathering the dry mix, pinching and dropping it for 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture and add the buttermilk. Mix until the dough forms a shaggy mass and there are no dry bits of flour left. The dough should be slightly sticky.
  • Lightly coat your work surface with nonstick cooking spray, then flour. (The spray keeps the flour in place.) Transfer the dough on to the prepared work surface and dust the dough lightly with flour. Lightly coat your hands with flour and gently press the dough with the heels of your hands to form it into a flat rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Fold the rectangle into thirds, like a letter, then repeat the same process of pressing the dough out and folding 2 more times. Lightly dust the dough as needed to prevent sticking. Place the folded dough on a sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap directly over the dough and chill for 15 minutes.
  • For the filling: Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a small bowl, then mix in the orange zest; set aside.
  • Dust the work surface with flour and roll out the dough into a 17-by-8-inch rectangle, 1/4 to 5/8 inch thick, with the longest end facing the edge of the counter. Brush the softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the butter and then the chopped ginger. Using both hands and starting from the long end, roll the dough as tight and neat as possible. If the dough gets too soft, place the roll on a sheet pan and chill for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place them in the buttered pan. Bake until the stickies start to brown, about 20 minutes.
  • For the milk drizzle: Mix together the milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl and pour evenly over the stickies.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake until the milk is absorbed and the tops of the stickies are golden, another 20 to 25 minutes. Place the pan on a cooling rack.
  • For the orange glaze: Combine the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl and drizzle over the top of the stickies. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not be as tart and flavorful.
  • Grate the ginger finely for the best flavor and texture. You can also use ground ginger, but it will not be as potent.
  • Be sure to bloom the yeast in warm water before adding it to the dough. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough to rise properly.
  • Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and will make the buns chewy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that the buns are light and fluffy.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. Overworking the dough will make the buns tough.
  • Brush the buns with melted butter before baking. This will help to give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the buns warm with cream cheese frosting or your favorite glaze.

Conclusion:

These cranberry ginger sticky buns are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give these buns a try. You won't be disappointed!
