We now have enough gingerbread cookies, <i>lussebullar<\/i> (saffron buns), <i>kn&auml;ck<\/i> (toffee), chocolate sweets and fudge to last us for a month at least.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAll of it&#8217;s rather experimental, really. For the <i>kn&auml;ck<\/i>, for example, we tried using treacle instead of golden syrup this year, and it didn&rsquo;t work as well as expected&#8230; but the same treacle was good for gingerbread dough. This year&rsquo;s gingerbread cookies came out better than ever, pleasantly spicy and dark.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nGingerbread cookies are my favourites, really, both to make and to eat. It&rsquo;s fun to try and fit as many as possible onto the rolled-out dough, to waste as little as possible. And they taste good!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFewer people came to join us than last year, and one large family had to decline at the last moment, so we&rsquo;ve got a whole lot of gl&ouml;gg left over&#8230; well, that&rsquo;ll save us the bother of carrying it home next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ol>\n<li>Invite friends to the kitchen.<\/li>\n<li>Provide tools, ingredients and instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Add gl&ouml;gg as needed, and stir vigourously.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[790,791,745],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebrations","category-christmas","category-food_and_cooking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2893,"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32\/revisions\/2893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toomik.net\/helen\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
