Baking with Gingerbread Spices
The characteristic flavor in gingerbread recipes comes from a warming combination of spices such as ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Making your own gingerbread spice mix is an easy way to have those cozy flavors ready whenever you feel like baking.
Gingerbread spices are not just for cookies either. They work beautifully in soft and fluffy bakes too, so take a look at my cake recipes for even more baking inspiration.
