Step by Step Method
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.
