Gingerbread Spice Mixture
This is a versatile mix of spices that can be added to lots of other things -- yellow cake mix, pancake or waffle batter, ground coffee before brewing, scones, muffins, cookies, whatever you want to have a gingerbread flavor. i sometimes put some of this mix in an 8-oz jelly jar and give as a gift along with cookie cutters, some standard cake mixes, and a sampling of recipes. i also use this to season my pumpkin pies and butternut squash custards.
Steps
For standard size cakes use 5 tsp of the mix.
For a standard size cookie recipe , use 4 teaspoons.
To flavor ground coffee before brewing , use 2 teaspoons.
For pancakes or waffles , use 2-3 tsp to flavor batter that is meant to make a dozen or so servings.
Experiment and try new uses !.
