Ingredients
- 1 cup molasses

- 2 cups flour

Notes
This is very nice if pains are taken to have the water boiling, and to beat it well when the flour is added. ~ M. Parloa
For those with modern refrigeration methods, this recipe works best when butter or lard is at room temperature, rather than very cold. It is worth taking time to let butter soften before making the recipe.
