INSTRUCTIONS
Heat molasses and water to boiling point. Add shortening. Add dry
ingredients mixed and sifted. Chill. Roll very thin and cut. Bake about
10 minutes in a hot oven.
A note earlier in the cookbook suggests a hot oven should be in the range
of 400-450 degrees (these recipes were devised for the ovens of wood
stoves, apparently.) I'd say to go with 400F.
Very crisp. Very gingery.
