    question

    Does the recipe really mean tablespoons of ginger, or should it be teaspoons?

    Hi, thanks for your question. This is a Member recipe so hasn't been tested in the Good Food test kitchen. However 1-2 tbsp sounds about right (our own gingerbread uses 1 tbsp for similar quantity of dough). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
