    List of Ingredients




    English Gingerbread from Hel


    4 C. sifted flour
    1 C. (2 sticks) butter (no substitution)
    1 C. sugar
    1 T. ginger (must be fresh)
    1 t. salt
    About 1 C. molasses

    Recipe




    Mix the flour, sugar, ginger and salt together.
    Cut cold butter into the mixture with a pastry blender or work in with your fingertips.

    Add just enough molasses to hold the ingredients together without being sticky.

    Wrap the dough air-tight and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
    Roll very thin on a well-floured board and cut as desired or shape into "logs" and slice into rounds.
    Bake on foil-lined, ungreased cookie sheets for about 8 minutes.

    Makes about 5 dozen, 2-inch cookies.
