When I was growing up we would buy these and eat them with a pint of choc. ice cream or a good cold glass of milk. You cannot hardly find these anywhere now to buy.
1 Cup Molasses
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
1/2 Cup Solid Shortening like Crisco
3 Cups Sifted Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon Hot Water
In a heavy kettle over medium heat melt the molasses, shortening and ginger together. Blend well. When the mixture is melted and still warm beat by hand or mixer for 10 minutes. Dissolve the soda in a tablespoon of boiling water and add to the molasses mixture. Stir good. Alternate adding the buttermilk and the flour. Gradually add in the flour. Add just enough of the 3 cups to make a good stiff dough. Beat thoroughly. Spray 2 jelly roll pans with cooking spray or can use oil. Pour the mixture into each pan and bake on 400 for 10 minutes. With the heat being this high they will burn easy on the bottom. So watch these very close. Can make a powdered sugar glaze to put on top of them if you like.
