Gingerbread was a type of baked good made with ginger as the primary ingredient.
In a deleted scene from the Star Trek: The Next Generation seventh season episode "Sub Rosa", Beverly Crusher includes Felisa Howard's recipe for gingerbread, which she reads at Felisa's funeral.
The recipe was as follows:
- "Nana's Gingerbread. Mix one gram currants… six hundred milliliters of flour… two hundred milliliters buttermilk... and a dollop of molasses... Two pinches of ginger and cinnamon... and two hundred milliliters of sugar... Heat the oven until it's happy... then pour the batter into the arms of a welcoming pan..." [1]
Crusher then tearfully stated that she would miss the gingerbread, among other things.
