SC - Oogy gingerbread problem

[Laura C. Minnick]

(I promise I'll post the results of the great goose-blood experiment.
Soon as I find my notes.)

First, a definition:  by oogy, I mean blooping all over the place.
Think "The Blob".  Utter lack of ability to hold a shape.

Anyways, tonight marks my third attempt at good ole FoC gingerbrede.
The first time, I used the 1c honey to 1c breadcrumbs ratio in the
Miscellany. It was too oogy.  Second time, I used the ratio in 1000 Eggs 
(1c honey to 1 3/4c breadcrumbs).  Still too oogy.

Tonight, I upped the voltage to 2 cups breadcrumbs.  STILL too oogy!  I
want to be able to roll them into balls for a dessert board this weekend.
I have ceased to believe that the amount of breadcrumbs is the problem.  
What step am I missing?  (A brief attempt at kneading led to glops of 
honey crud all over me, the counter, and an investigating feline.)

Tastes good, though...I popped a glop into the spousal unit's mouth,
and just as he was about to gripe about it being too sweet, the long
pepper hit.  *heh heh heh*  But I really need a more structurally sound
item for a dessert board offering.
