**sigh** Recipe Gone Wrong... all wrong.

Last Thursday I made:

Gingerbread Biscotti Recipe! YUM! 

And I want to tell you that I did every step and followed the directions carefully. 

See?

Flour.

 Lotsa great spices!

 Flour and spices.

 I don't use molasses too often. <3 molasses. even the word molasses.

 separate 2 of the eggs.

1 whole egg and 2 yolks.

 mixie-mix.

 put wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

put in pecans.

mixie-mix.

separate into 2 pieces (she said), so I did and rolled it out on greased cookie sheets.  (I think this is the problem.  I think if I'd left it as one piece and rolled it out it would have been FINE! But I followed the directions, because -- WHO KNEW?!)

I left it in the oven for only part of the baking time and look how burned the edges got! :( WASTE OF MY TIME!

Actually, I broke off the black parts and salvaged the rest.  Frustrating to destroy half of what you make...  But.  The hubs and daughter love it with with their coffee. :) Which is why I made it. Oh, I put some melted white chocolate chips on it...

Fast forward to tonight:

 I made Cinnamon Roll Cake.  I did not photograph every step.  I took a picture only of the end result. And you know what -- I'll bet this one turned out wonderfully.  It's obviously not BURNT to a CRISP!

(Yes, my pan is OLD.  It's from my Tupperware selling days. Caleb was one.  A LONG time ago.)
