I seriously cannot remember where I heard this but it works. A good pinch of cardamom in a recipe that has cinnamon, especially a really cinnamon forward recipe like many holiday baked goods, really pops. Makes the cinnamon flavor more bold and fresh tasting without being overpowering. It’s like a magic trick.
Bake on, comrades.
Also, I guess share some baking or cooking tricks in here.


Probably? I have a little container of finely ground stuff I use for this. If you can get it ground finely then go for it.
