This is a lovely gingerbread with crumb topping to have with tea or coffee. I think I found the recipe in an old Houston Junior League cookbook.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 (1 lb) box dark brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Directions:
1. Combine flour and sugar.
2. Cut in butter.
3. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for topping.
4. Add cinnamon, soda, nutmeg and ginger to remaining flour mixture.
5. Stir in eggs and buttermilk; (Do not use electric mixer).
6. Pour batter into ungreased 9 x 13 pan.
7. Sprinkle with reserved topping and bake in preheated 350° oven for 45 minutes or until done.
