1 cup broken butter, 2 cups Porto Rico molasses, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoonfuls soda, 2 teaspoonfuls yellow ginger, 1 heaping teaspoonful salt. Put molasses, sugar, butter, ginger, soda and salt together in a porcelain sauce pan and set on the fire, stirring till it boils and keeping at the boiling point for five minutes. Pour off into a big bowl and begin at once to stir in your flour (enough to make it as stiff as can be rolled). Do it quickly, moulding it with your hand as it gums too stiff for the spoon. It will not stick. Take what you can manage at a time and roll out very thin on a floured bowl. Cut it in small rounds, lay in shallow pans and bake immediately.
