Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup regular molasses
- 1/4 cup black strap molasses
- 1 cup shortening--melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 5 cups white flour
- Extra sugar for sprinkling
How to Make
-
Step 1: Mix the milk and vinegar and set aside for a minute.
-
Step 2: In a large bowl combine sugar, both molasses and shortening (if you don't have blackstrap molasses, you may use the regular but the taste is much better if you use the black strap).
-
Step 3: Add the milk and vinegar mixture; and then the dry ingredients, mixing well; refrigerate for one hour.
-
Step 4: Roll out on a floured board and cut in circles the size you want (I use one that is about 3" round) and put on baking sheet sprayed with baking spray; sprinkle tops with sugar.
-
Step 5: Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 7-8 minutes; don't overbake them, just till they are done.
