Teaspoonful Tablespoonful Gingerbread

Ingredients:
1 cup molasses.
1 egg.
1 teaspoonful of soda.
1 teaspoonful of ginger.
1 tablespoonful melted butter.
1/2 cup of milk.
2 cups of flour.

Directions:
Beat the eggs without separating, but very light; put the soda into the molasses, put them in the milk, with the
ginger and butter, then one cup of flour, measure in a medium−sized cup and only level, then the egg, and last
the rest of the flour. Bake in a buttered biscuit−tin. For a change, sometimes add a teaspoonful of cloves and
cinnamon, mixed, to this, and a cup of chopped almonds. Or, when the gingerbread is ready for the oven drop
over halves of almonds.
