Ginger Bread

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Use New Orleans or Porto Kico molasses; avoid syrups.

  3. Add soda to activate the molasses.

  4. If cookies or snaps become moist, heat them in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them up.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
