Ingredients
- one pint of molasses
- two tablespoons ginger
- one teaspoonful soda dissolved in a tablespoonful hot water
- one beaten egg
- ginger
Directions
Boil one pint of molasses. When cooled to milk-warm, beat into it one beaten egg and one teacup butter and lard, mixed and melted. Add two tablespoons ginger, then work in one teaspoonful soda dissolved in a tablespoonful hot water and enough sifted flour to enable you to roll out the dough easily. It must be rolled wafer thin, the snaps stamped out and baked quickly. Remove carefully from the pan and lay on sheets of paper until cold and crispy. — Mrs. Wm. F. Der- mout, Williams, Ariz.
