Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups rye flour
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup  honey
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 pic egg
  • 1/2 cup  butter softened
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • The first step is to preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F), then line or butter a loaf pan.
  • Place the rye flour, ground ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and baking powder in a sizable mixing basin. Pour the honey in, quickly swirl it with a spoon, and then blend on low speed with a handheld mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Add the milk, sugar, egg, softened butter, and salt one at a time, stirring slowly after each addition.
  • Pour the mixture into a loaf pan once it has been thoroughly blended. Don't forget to use the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
  • Enjoy a slice of your freshly baked pain d'epices after baking for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
