Pain d'epices from Dinner in French: My Recipes by Way of France (page 263) by Melissa Clark

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute candied orange zest or a combination of candied ginger and candied orange zest for candied citron.

    I used slightly more of each one of the spices, where it called for citron I used candied ginger. I cut the sugar to 90 grams and used light brown. I used rye and bread flour as called for in the recipe. This is the best gingerbread I’ve ever had. Excellent. Absolutely make this again.
