Lakeland Gingerbread

Lakeland Gingerbread is a crumbly, Lake District-inspired bake made with plain and wholemeal flour, porridge oats, soft brown sugar and three forms of ginger. Fresh ginger, ground ginger and candied ginger give the recipe a warm, layered flavour, while the oats help create that distinctive crumbly texture.
