Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • anya_sf on December 21, 2023

    This recipe is most similar to the gingerbread cookies my Finnish mother made. I usually have to add extra water. The dough has a tendency to crack on the initial rolling, but rolls out more smoothly after it's been re-kneaded and rolled (note to self: knead it more initially!). I probably don't roll it thin enough, as my cookies sometimes take a few extra minutes to bake. I get around 45 cookies (yield of course depends on your cutters).
