Gingerbread is a sweet food-product flavored with ginger and typically using honey or molasses rather than just sugar. I have made an twist because i don't have molasses and don't want to add honey so added jaggery/Gur. Gingerbread foods vary, ranging from a soft, moist loaf cake to something close to a ginger biscuit. The different types likely share a common origin...
