Judy - I haven't written anything on here for ages so not quite sure where to stick this but hopefully you'll see it and shift it!
Recipe review - gingerbread twigs
These are gluten free and pretty darn healthy plus look gorgeous so I was keen to make them as gifts for my coeliac friend.
Flavour 10/10
Consistency ... I couldn't gift them as they didn't turn out
Followed the recipe exactly but at the 8 minute mark they were no where near cooked. 10 minute mark came and went - same thing. 15 minutes came and went and then I ended up getting them out of the oven as the recipe says 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant do not overbake which I thought I must be doing. But they stayed soft and this morning they are even worse - they are floppy and taste like uncooked dough.... I'm hoping someone else makes these and can let me know how they get on - I really want them to work but don't want to experiment too much as they use 1/4kg of medjool dates and we use organic ones which are quite expensive. I'm guessing the fact that the recipe uses medjool dates would be where the problem comes from - depending on how they are stored and how long they are stored determines their moisture content - mine are relatively fresh and have always been sealed - never in an open box in the supermarket.
