How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F

  • Step 2: Melt the molasses, shortening and ginger together and blend well.

  • Step 3: When thoroughly melted and warmed, beat for 10 minutes.

  • Step 4: While the original recipe as printed omits the use of the sour milk, let’s assume it’s added before the flour.

  • Step 5: Dissolve the soda in 1 tablespoon boiling water and add to the molasses mix.

  • Step 6: Then add just enough of the sifted flour to make a stiff batter, beating thoroughly and vigorously.

  • Step 7: Pour into several greased shallow pans and bake for ten minutes in a quick oven.
