Instructions pain d’épices – French honey and spice bread

  • For this recipe I used silicone mould Corallo made by Silikomart.
  • I used a tablespoon of homemade spice mixture. If you are not going to prepare the traditional mixture you can use a mix of 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon, a quarter teaspoon of pepper, a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • In a small saucepan slowly heat the honey together with sugar.
  • Add sifted all-purpose flour, rye flour, baking powder and a tablespoon of mixed spices then stir.
  • In a second bowl whisk milk with the eggs. Add the liquid in the pan and whisk until all the ingredients combine.
  • Regardless of whether you use the silicone or metal baking tray, melt some butter and brush the pan (no need to dust it). Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° C for 40 – 50 minutes. Check the baking until the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
