Ingredients




1/2 cup of molasses
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoonful of soda
1/2 teaspoonful of salt
1/4 cup of butter
1/2 tablespoonful of ginger
1/4 cup of boiling water
1/2 teaspoonful of cinnamon

Preparation

1 Stir the soda into the molasses; melt the butter in the boiling water; turn all into a bowl and stir in the flour, sifted with the salt and spices; add more flour if needed, but keep the dough as soft as can be handled. Roll a little of the dough at a time to a sheet about three-eights of an inch thick and cut into rounds. Press two pecan nut meats into the top of each, and dredge with granulated sugar. Bake in a moderate oven. The recipe will make about twenty cakes.
