A VERY GOOD GINGER-BREAD.
Mix well with a pound and a half of flour, a half tea-cup full of good ginger. Melt in a pint of molasses half a pound of butter; when the molasses is hot, pour it over the flour, stirring it well to keep it from becoming lumpy; let it stand till quite cold, then beat two eggs very light, and stir in with flour, enough to make a stiff dough. Roll out and bake.
