NE Hermit bars

made these last night with some substitutions.
Kefir for the egg yolk, 2T. I prefer buttermilk, alas.
Under measured the brown sugar by a T, but I shouldn’t have.
Hydrated 1/2c raisins and 1/2c chopped dates with 2T bourbon.
1t cinn. Next time, I think 2t. Forgot to bloom the spices in the butter, Darn the Luck ! ! !
Think next time I’ll double all the spices except the mace.
Added 1T fresh orange zest, coz I had just peeled one.
Added 2T of DIY crystal ginger, chopped.
They din’t crack like Shirlys did. They’re a teense dry.
