Make the recipe as written the first test drive out - then you'll be able to experience the taste and texture of the recipe. The next test drive of the recipe is where you can make additions, deletions or other tweaks to match your flavor preferences. It may be best to sneak up on those tablespoon amounts gradually by starting with teaspoons of fresh and ground ginger. Enjoy the tasting journey keeping careful notes of your changes. Happy Baking!
