  1. These are quite nice. I'd like to say 4 1/2 stars. The spice combination is good, if very slightly weak for me. This is the third recipe of this type on this site that I have tried. The other two both included a small amount of baking powder or soda. I think that gives the coating more substance, which I find I prefer. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
