1 cup molasses
2 tablespoons fat
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of cloves

Mix molasses, fat, and boiling water. Sift dry ingredients. Add the

enough to roll out. Cut and bake about 15 minutes in moderately hot
oven.
