Back in the days when I did a lot of baking, I decided to try a Martha Stewart recipe. It was for a bar that had ginger in the dough, and crystallized ginger on top. The name of the recipe was "hermit bars" and the bars increased in flavor by sealing them up tightly and letting the ginger taste really sink in. It turned out to be soooooooooo delicious. At that time I was doing everything the hard way -- this is *before* I knew about great products like minced ginger. Life is so much easier now, and every bit as tasty. |
