Today in class we made Ginger Sparklers, what our group did well while doing this was our productivity we made sure we did everything on time. One thing we could have worked on is our dough because it was more dry and crumbly compared to other groups. What I would do differently next time is that we would add another egg so that it wouldn't be too dry. One thing we learned for this recipe is that we shouldn't handle the dough to much so that it won't melt in our hands.
