SOFT GINGERBREAD
Ingredients:
1 cup New Orleans molasses
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup water
4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Stir the molasses, sugar and butter together; add the water, then the flour, salt, soda and spices sifted together, and beat hard. Bake in two well-greased pans in a moderate oven about half an hour.
Yes, this recipe from the late 1800s does not say what size pans nor what a moderate oven is. I used a 9 x 13 pan and 350*F. oven. (177*C)
When I took my first bite of this treat, all these wonderful memories came flooding back. It was so good and I hadn't tasted this in many years.
This may not be the healthiest dessert, but it tastes great and after all, it's a treat for maybe once or twice a year, not a regular part of your diet.
This looks good, Kathy, and nothing wrong with a treat every now and then. How nice that you found the recipe in your great grandmother's cookbook too.
ReplyDeleteMy grandkids also love gingerbread. I'll try this recipe. Looks so yummy. You've a treasure (your great-grandmother's cookbook) in your hands. Wish, I had kept my granny 's book. Regards Naomi https://divineangelnumbers.com/
ReplyDeleteI'm Paula from Colorado, I have been blogging for a while now, and today I felt like I should share my story because I was a victim too. I had endometriosis and herpes virus for 18 years and I never thought I would ever get a cure due to the terrible symptoms I had and this made it impossible for me to get pregnant even after 12 years of marriage, and it was a serious issue. Furthermore, I got to know about Dr. Itua on a Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cure and gave her contact details, I contacted Dr. Itua, and he actually confirmed it and I decided to give it a try too and use his herbal medicine. That was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 this December, and I am grateful to God and thankful to his medicine too.Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Disease… Cancer, HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Liver Inflammatory, Diabetes, Fibroid, Get Your Ex Back, If you have (A just reach his on (drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or order herbs from his herbs store https://drituaherbalcenter.com/shop/)He can also advise you on how to handle some marital issues. He's a good man.
