I love altering those traditional reciepes. Using unusual bread, adding stuff that you wouldn’t expect – like cardamom instead of cinnamon or nutmeg ( extra dash of the fresh nutmeg will also add an unusual effect to it ) – and just playing with it.
It’s really nice and warming, great stuff, thanks Lauren. j
