This sticky toffee pudding with more than a hint of gingerbread is a wonderful holiday treat, especially with plentiful butterscotch sauce added on top.

Grandma Baum’s Ginger Drop Cakes

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup molasses
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter, plus extra for greasing ramekins


Directions:
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, ginger and baking soda.

In a large bowl with a wooden spoon, mix sour cream, brown sugar, molasses, egg and melted butter until smooth. Add dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.

Grease eight 4-ounce ramekins—or line a muffin tin with paper wrappers—and fill cups 2/3 of the way. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 30 minutes, until tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool 5 minutes, then drizzle with butterscotch sauce and serve. A spoonful or two of butterscotch sauce is also quite acceptable.
