Muster day gingerbread

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
⅔ cup Brown sugar, firmly packed
⅔ cup Molasses
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Cloves
¾ tablespoon Baking soda
⅔ cup Butter
1 each Egg
5 cups All purpose flour

Directions

Heat brown sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves to the boiling point. Remove from heat, add baking soda, and pour over butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until butter has melted, then stir in the egg and flour thoroughly. Knead for a few minutes, then gather dough into a ball. Refrigerate dough until firm enough to roll easily, then roll on a lightly floured board, and cut with fancy cooky cutters. Place on greased cooky sheet and bake in a preheated 325 F. oven for 8 to 10 minutes. From: The American Heritage Cookbook Shared By: Pat Stockett
