January 14: The springerle chronicles
Jan. 14th, 2012 08:37 amI am not a happy bunny.
I thought I finally had rolled and molded these big guys thin enough that they wouldn't puff and split. Apparently not. At the moment, the alternate recipe (no butter, no hartshorn) is looking more enticing. Or perhaps the gingerbread recipe that has no eggs and hardly any baking soda.
It may be time to back away from the cookie molds entirely and do something else for awhile. I feel as though I've been in pink springerle hell for a lifetime, even if it's only been a few days.
