I needed to find a substitute for the gin in the recipe. Gin is flavored with juniper berries, so at first I was considering some juniper tea that I have. Then I was reading about substitutes for juniper and saw rosemary suggested. I went with the rosemary and it worked well.
It was too snowy and cold to go to the store to buy lemons, so I relied on bottled lemon juice and lemon extract for the lemon flavor. I wish that I had added lemon zest. The rosemary overpowered the lemon, pepper, and ginger, at least for me. My taster referred to the nuggets as being ginger flavored, but I couldn't taste the ginger.
These little biscuits were easy and quick to make, and tasty.
These look so interesting. I pulled the ingredients tonight so that I can make them tomorrow hopefully. I like the idea of rosemary in these a lot! They look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThese were definitely quite gingery - like the idea of a rosemary flavoured cocktail cookie too!
ReplyDeleteSpring is on the way. Hopefully you can make them again with the lemon zest. These were quite lemony for us.
