Recent news, and saltcakes

[ashnistrike]

I'm neck deep in terrifying Deep Roots edits, but wanted to share a couple of posts elsewhere:

I joined Fran Wilde and Aliette de Bodard for the latest episode of Cooking the Books. Also on their site: the long-awaited honeyed saltcake recipe! 

Petra Mayer interviewed me for the NPR Books blog. I may have squeed a little, because NPR.

I tried another batch, and found out why my first batch spread out so much - when making them, I microwaved the butter until it was pretty soft and also microwaved the honey until it was warm, so it would pour easier - this time I just barely softened the butter and left the honey alone, and the result was soft cakey cookies that were utterly delicious (I used 1.5 tsp of salt, and spinkled less on top). My partners are a bit less enthused, but now I have a new regular snack.
