Well, first off, I have to admit that I don’t know or use this spice, I had in fact to go buy it or borrow it, as it was part of my March Challange, buying it was out, so I had to ask different friends until I was able to borrow a little bit.

Now it became time to pick out a recipe, and I spent a bit of time looking and decided that I would go tradional and make Cardamon Bread, then what do I see, Mother’s Kitchen made my bread ;(

So back to the drawing board as they say.. her bread looked amazing.. So back to looking at recipes, and finally its friday and I still don’t know really what to make with this spice, I can’t wait to see what everyone else came up with and how they used it, because its clear to me that I don’t know how to use it..

So I made cookies.. Plain old yummy cookies, I took my basic Spice Cookie and made it like normal, but with my borrowed cardamon in it, and it is GOOD, different tasting then normal, but I like it. 

So here is my recipe.

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar
• 2 eggs (I used duck so it would in fact be close to three regular chicken eggs)
• Pinch of salt
• A couple tablespoons of leftover pear butter  (but any kind of apple or mixed apple fruit sauce would work)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon, ginger, all-spice and Cardamon

Mix your butter and sugar together till well mixed, then add your eggs one at a time and mix well, then add your fruit sauce if you using it, mix well, then add all the dry together, and then mix, it was a firm dough, I rolled it, and then using a fork but a X on each one and baked for 12 to 14 min at 350 till crispy on the bottom, cool on a wire rack.
