Have you tried Nigel Slater's double ginger cake?

We've also chosen Sweden as the next country that we're going to learn about so might just try making these.

Didn't want to spring for the super-expensive sanding sugar since I was baking in such bulk, so I wound up using turbinado sugar, Mostly it comes in the little brown packets, but you can find it by the box. Nice big grains, and since the cookies are so dark already it doesn't matter that the sugar isn't clear.CK1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11528665956730314213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-55135854379166448372007-07-26T07:18:00.000-04:002007-07-26T07:18:00.000-04:00I love that Penzeys Vietnamese cinnamon, too.
