I tried ginger nectarine pie but it is missing ingredients. because the instructions say whisk until smooth – but there is not enough liquid to whisk. 2 eggs and soft butter makes a soft dough like bread dough. I added some milk. also for the crunch I added some butter. It turned out OK.
Useless recipie, didn’t see until after making the comment below about missing ingredients, although I added eggs as mixture too dry. Don’t bother with this one, shame as it looked nice!
thank you for your comment! there are no missing ingredients in this recipe, the batter should be thicker and soft like bread dough…
I’ve just made it following the recipe, I think the crunchy topping is too strong. While baking I think it would be enough with a teaspoon of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg not a tablespoon as the recipe says. Next time I’ll reduce the amounts
Hi Norma! Thank you so much for trying this recipe, and sorry for the confusion. It should be 1 teaspoon each, the recipe is fixed. Have a wonderful Sunday!
