Hello All—Today we are looking at Desserts, why, because after every dinner meal there was desserts, for the kids. It was a long day, school, homework, chores and then relaxation with dessert. If I was a kid who back then had no TV, no computer games, and only maybe a radio to lesson to, then dessert was the highlight of the day. Here is something good, quick and you can have on hand for days.
Gingerbread
very old, old recipe
Cream 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 cup lard,
add 1 cup molasses and Sift dry ingredients-2 1/2 cups flour,
1/2 tsp. each cloves and cinnamon,
1 1/2 tsp. soda,
1 tsp. ginger,
1/4 tsp. salt.
Then add to first mixture, with 1 egg beaten if you have one to spare. Last, add 1 cup boiling water. Bake about 30 minutes in 350 degree over. Use 9×12 inch pan or 2 smaller ones.
Easy, Quick and Oh so great.
