Seriously like eating cake for breakfast. These griddle cakes use Carrot Cake Jam in place of the sugar. This not only cuts down on the sugar but adds tons of flavor. Pre-heat a griddle on med-low heat. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl: 1c flour 1 ½ ts baking powder ½ ts …
Jam Filled Hungarian Shortbread
Shortbread is a richly decadent yet very simple style of cookie. One of the most well known styles of shortbread, Scotch shortbread, consists of just 3 ingredients: butter, flour, and sugar.
