Notes

When making your own spice blend you should always make it to suit your taste. If it's your first time, cut the spices noted in the recipe in half. Taste the blend (you will have to do so before mixing it with flour), and then build and add more to suit your taste. You can always add additional spices in, but once you have added something, it's much harder to walk that back.
The recipe can be easily doubled, tripled, etc. for batch use.
