GINGERBREAD SPICE MIXTURE
This is a versatile mix of spices that can be added to lots of other things -- yellow cake mix, pancake or waffle batter, ground coffee before brewing, scones, muffins, cookies, whatever you want to have a gingerbread flavor. I sometimes put some of this mix in an 8-oz jelly jar and give as a gift along with cookie cutters, some standard cake mixes, and a sampling of recipes. I also use this to season my pumpkin pies and butternut squash custards.

Tips:
- Use fresh spices. Fresh spices have a more intense flavor than ground spices, so they will give your gingerbread a more pronounced flavor.
- Grind your own spices. Grinding your own spices will also give you a more intense flavor, and it will allow you to control the coarseness of the grind.
- Use a variety of spices. The combination of spices in gingerbread is what gives it its unique flavor. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices, such as cardamom, cloves, or nutmeg.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the gingerbread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help the gingerbread hold its shape in the oven.
- Bake the gingerbread until it is firm to the touch. Overbaking the gingerbread will make it dry and crumbly.
- Decorate the gingerbread as desired. You can decorate the gingerbread with icing, sprinkles, or other decorations.
Conclusion:
Gingerbread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own gingerbread at home. Experiment with different spices and decorations to create a gingerbread that is unique and special.
