24 servings
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
Ingredient noteThough high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
