1 cup molasses
2/3 cup fresh beef drippings (you can use butter)
1 rounded tsp baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup very hot water

Sift together flour, ginger and cinnamon and add alternately with the cup of very hot water to molasses and dripping mixture. Beat well until batter is thoroughly mixed and soft enough to pour.
