Contains: egg, milk, wheat (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (I used a "white" whole wheat as it is what I had on hand)

• 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (1 1/2 tsp due to flour)
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
