My mom gave me this recipe:
2/3 cup raw sugar
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking soda
6 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick butter at room temp
1/4 cup molasses
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup grated fresh ginger
1 large egg
1-1/2 cups minced crystallized ginger
zest of 1 orange or 2 lemons
Place the raw sugar in a bowl and set aside.
Mix flour, baking soda, ground ginger and salt. Melt butter in a pan; add molasses, sugar, fresh ginger. Then mix in the egg. Add to dry ingredients. Then add crystallized ginger and zest, then stir.
For each cookie, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it in a ball. Flatten a little, then dip it in the raw suger, pressing to coat it.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven on greased or parchment-covered cookie sheets for 8 to 10 minutes.

∙ 13y agoFresh ginger has so many uses. I grate it (peeled) and combine it with minced garlic and chopped onion in a frying pan as a base for Indian spiced dishes that also include turmeric, cumin, coriander, etc. With garlic and scallions (green onions), it makes good seasoning for stir-fried veg or chicken, plus soy sauce. You can make a tea out of it for a cold or nausea. Or use it to make spiced black tea (chai), along with cardamom seeds, cinnamon, and cloves.

∙ 15y agoIt's really not the same. The ground ginger used in bakery is much more mellow than fresh grated ginger (which is more hot than spicy).

I don't have ginger what else can I use in place of ginger?
When a recipe calls for ginger and you do not have any, you can substitute another spice like mace in place of the ginger. Nutmeg is another spice that you can use. Replacing the ginger may change the taste of your recipe.
How much is 2 grams of ginger powder?
The term is for fresh ginger. What you do is get a real ginger root and measure it. One ginger root can be as big as 8 inches long, so you want a piece about as long as your finger. Then you can grate it into your recipe. Most US groceries carry it in the fresh produce department.
Is there a substitution i can use in place of candied ginger?
It may be omitted from your recipe or replaced with a pinch of ground ginger. Or make your own by slicing fresh ginger one-eighth inch thick and cooking at a slow simmer in sugar syrup.http://homecooking.about.com/od/dessertrecipes/ht/crystalginger.htm

Can ground ginger be used in a recipe that calls for minced ginger?
Ground ginger can NOT be substituted for crystallized ginger--that is something quite different. Otherwise, you are fairly safe to use ground, minced, and grated ginger interchangeably unless the ginger is being used for garnish purposes (sushi, for instance). The thing to remember is that ground ginger is exponentially more potent than fresh ginger. Ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste, but I rarely use more than a few pinches of the ground stuff.
How much ground ginger do you substitute for 2 inches of fresh ginger?
A one inch piece of fresh, grated ginger (generally yielding 1 tablespoon) equals approximately 1/8 teaspoon ground (dried) ginger. Source: http://www.evitamins.com/healthnotes.asp?ContentID=3602003
In beauty diy recipes facials etc...if the recipe calls for fresh ginger can you substitute with ground ginger and if so what's the ratio for ground to fresh?
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger Start with the smaller amount (1/8 teaspoon) and taste your mixture. If you find that you want a stronger ginger flavor, you can gradually add more, up to 1/4 teaspoon, but be cautious not to overdo it, as ground ginger can quickly become overpowering. Keep in mind that the substitution may slightly alter the texture of your beauty DIY recipe, as fresh ginger adds some moisture, while ground ginger is dry. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding a small amount of water or another liquid to your mixture if necessary.
