Black Pepper Biscuits)\u00a0although preparing it can be a little laborious.<\/p>\n<p>Ground cardamom seems hard to come by and we\u2019re not convinced it would keep so well anyway, so whole pods need to be ground and sieved before we can use them.<\/p>\n<p>Finally our baking has been blessed with the arrival of <strong>Holy Lama Naturals Spice Drops<\/strong> which come in a convenient bottle with dropper. Made from real cardamom the extract is perfectly concentrated to deliver the right amount of flavour.<\/p>\n<p>The Spice Drops proved to be a real success when making these biscuits and you\u2019d never know that actual cardamom pods hadn\u2019t been used.<\/p>\n<p>We paired the fragrant flavour with the spike of aromatic black pepper for an interesting and exciting combination. It is good to have coarse pepper so that you get little hits of spice as you eat the biscuits.<\/p>\n<p>The biscuits are great partners with vanilla ice cream, strawberries or rhubarb compote or simply with a cup of tea or coffee.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/recipes\/aft\/cardamom-black-pepper-biscuits\/&#8221;
