I've been keen to try my hand at baking snickerdoodles ever since Veronica starting hiding them in Wallace's locker. (and how someone can look so glum while baking something called a snickerdoodle I will never understand!)
This week Bells' post over at Mouthfuls of Heaven (which, by the way, already has me 100% decided that the first thing I'm gonna buy when I get from OS is Nigella) was the straw that pushed me over the snickerdoodling edge - and I gotta say its gooood over here in snickerdoodleland!!
In true Mars style I couldn't resist a doing a little (ok, probaby too much) research and, despite stumbling across a post of Nigella's recipe, when I found a 'Ronnie recipe I couldn't resist! =)
These little pieces of snickerdoodly goodness are light and crispy around the edges, cakey and cinnamony in the middle mmmmmmmmm
There was one correction to the recipe, though - I'm pretty certain they should have 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, not 2 tablespoons.
So the verdict is that the snickerdoodle is a winner!
And with the nod from Veronica I would never expect anything less!
besos,
Kuka =)
edited to add - I asked the same question as Bells re 'a stick of butter'. After employing investigative methods learned from the tiny blonde one herself (ie google ;)) I can now tell you a stick of butter is 125g =)

ReplyDeleteTee hee - I thought those photos were of you until I clicked the link! How funny. It does look a litle like you. :-) And I actually know who Veronica Mars is - so that's even funnier.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try to Veronica Mars version - minus the extra heap of cream of tartar, obviously.
How much is a stick of butter???
I clicked to see them bigger too, thinking the same thing!
