2 tablespoons of fat
1 teaspoon soda and 1 teaspoon water (hot)
1 cup of flour
1 tablespoon ginger
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
About 3 cups flour
Heat molasses and fat until fat is melted. Sift spices with one cup of flour. Dissolve soda in one teaspoon of hot water. Combine all and add enough more flour to make dough stiff enough to roll out. Bake 12 to 15 minutes in moderate oven.
