Gingerbread

I recently made this for the first time. In fact it was my first recipe I had attempted to make out of Lily’s cookbook. I had never had real ginger “bread” before but I think Great Grandma Seel liked her gingerbread to be a bit stronger on the molasses than I do but otherwise it turned out alright.

¾ cup molasses

1 ¾ cup sifted flour

1 ½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp baking powder

1 ½ tsp ginger
