1 teaspoonful of soda.
1 teaspoonful of ginger.
1 egg.
Put the molasses and butter in a tin pan and set on the stove. When the mixture boils up, add the soda and ginger, and take from the fire immediately. Add the milk, the egg well beaten, and the flour, and beat well. This will fill three round deep plates, or one shallow cake pan and a plate. Bake in rather a quick oven for twenty minutes.
