I am making my first gingerbread house. I wanted to make the gingerbread, but I can't find Molasses anywhere. My question is can i use corn syrup instead?
Could she substitue Dark brown sugar and water maybe? Just a thought.
Wow. I never make my gingerbread houses with molasses. I just posted this gingerbread house and I used white corn syrup. The gingerbread tastes great. I would definitely substitute the molasses for the corn syrup. If you want a darker gingerbread, use dark corn syrup.
Would love to post the recipe but I got it out of a book that's copyrighted. The book is really good. It's called Gingerbread, Things to Make and Bake by Teresa Layman and Barbara Morgenroth. Lots of great patterns and I love their gingerbread recipe.
Attorney speaking here: Recipes can't be copyrighted. The explanatory text is protected by copyright, but the actual recipe, the list of ingredients, is fair game. You may post it.
I typically use molasses, too--it gives the gingerbread its distinctive flavor. But if you sub corn syrup and decrease the cinnamon, you can color the dough. That's fun sometimes, too!
You can substitute corn syrup but the flavour of the gingerbread will be slightly different and it will be slightly lighter in colour
