January 16th, 1875 Hard Gingerbread
Burlington Vermont 1875
January 16th 1875
Hard Gingerbread
2 cups molasses
1 cup hot water
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon ginger
2 small tablespoon soda
Mix hard grill in thin sheets.
This seems like a lot of soda; I wonder if she meant teaspoons instead. Then you grill them? I am thinking these are cookies and you could bake them like you would gingerbread men.
