I made these non-gluten free about 10 times now, and they are delicious! I play around with the amount of spice each time, depending on how I'm feeling, and have yet to find the place where I have too much cinnamon and ginger. ;)<br/><br/>I do have to add a splash of milk to make the dough workable, perhaps because I'm living in a pretty dry client.2Reply
