   Did you know? Use any jam for the gingerbread. But it’s better not to use jam made from blue berries (blueberries, currants, etc.) - it will give the gingerbread an unappetizing color, especially if you don’t add cocoa.

2. Mix until foam forms. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg with a whisk or fork. After 10 minutes have passed, add the egg to the jam and soda and mix thoroughly.
