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. 

Avondale Pennsylvania 1912
