I also added some clove and cardamom powder and a little allspice. I didn't have any orange zest or juice, but I had organic sweet orange essential oil and put a few drops in the batter because I like the flavor. I don't think I tasted it much tho. I agree, it isn't a ginger bread so much as a molasses cake. I served it with fresh local creme fraiche from Cowgirl Creamery in Pt. Reyes Station.

Sauces and salad dressings are much less overwhelming than trying entire new dishes! And whenever I try a new salad dressing, it becomes my new favorite. This caesar vinaigrette is my current fave: http://www.tmuffin.com/2010/04/fresh-organic-deliciousness.html#Caesar%20VinaigretteTmuffin.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592514671182799581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730600195919170414.post-72036738734369902882011-07-17T12:36:59.422-07:002011-07-17T12:36:59.422-07:00Having made that recipe hundreds of times, and giv...Having made that recipe hundreds of times, and given the recipe away dozens of times; I would guess that you didn't use hard butter or otherwise let you butter melt in the dough prior to baking. <br /><br />Consider putting the stick of butter in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to cutting it into the flour. And put the biscuits right into the oven after shaping.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730600195919170414.post-59797605644996604892011-02-27T13:45:09.428-08:002011-02-27T13:45:09.428-08:00Yes, cayenne pepper. :-)Yes, cayenne pepper. :-)Thomasinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611683322412116684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730600195919170414.post-37754858523177825992011-02-25T08:48:09.638-08:002011-02-25T08:48:09.638-08:00cayenne? is that cayenne pepper? i am in ukcayenne? is that cayenne pepper? i am in ukAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730600195919170414.post-60052915646667636512010-11-21T07:37:27.188-08:002010-11-21T07:37:27.188-08:00I love the randomness of the internet.

My first reaction was, yuck.<br />But, I tried making it and ate the entire batch in one sitting, barely sparing the dish time to cool.<br />I went out this afternoon to gather some tops for steaming and drizzeling with pear vinegar (perry cider fiasco turned act of brillance). Lo and behold! Turnips, some the size of softballs. The cool evenings and upper 50s days along with 3 days of slow soaking rain perked these fellers right up.<br />Hence my google search which led me to this blog, so I could post this message. I will be cooking this tomorrow after church.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819584453909278548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730600195919170414.post-63041216264793527762010-03-02T19:44:52.757-08:002010-03-02T19:44:52.757-08:00Maybe there will be an appetizer sized portion at ...Maybe there will be an appetizer sized portion at a somewhat discounted price?
