Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp (75 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 1/4 cups (280 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (250 g) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (275 g) light brown sugar
  • 4 egg yolks, at room temprature
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the granulated white sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves to a bowl. Whisk to combine.

  2. 2

    Add the butter to a pot and heat it over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and come to a simmer. Simmer until the butter is foamy, giving off a nutty scent and has browned. The whole process should take about 5-8 minutes. Remove the butter from the heat and transfer it to a small bowl. Pop it in the fridge and allow it to cool completely until it is solid but still malleable.
