I have made Gingerbread before but hadn't yet tried the Laura Ingalls Wilder recipe, and I have been asked a couple times if I had the recipe, so I decided that today was the day.
It smells amazing as it is baking!

This looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great recipe, but one question, do we discard the water after the baking soda foam has frrothed over into the bowl, or is it added to the mixture?
ReplyDeleteI have a recipe I'm planning on trying a recipe next week called shoofly cake, but have been thinking about adding spices to it, as the only flavor in it comes from the molasses.
I borrowed several crochet basics books from my library, and found one that I found most helpful. I've been practising stitches and developing experience so I become confident on the tension of stitches. I plan on trying that hat pattern you wrote about once I feel ready to start.
Just looking at this is making my tastebuds go!! It looks and sounds absolutely scrumptious. xx
