One cup sugar, one cup molasses, one cup butter, or lard and butter mixed, two eggs, one tablespoon ginger, one tablespoon soda, one tablespoon vinegar, a little salt dissolved in a little warm water. Add the vinegar to the soda. Let it foam well. Flour enough to roll. Lizzie P. McCrea.

Ginger Snaps

Two cups of Orleans molasses, one cup of lard, half cup of white sugar, three tablespoons of water, one tablespoon of soda, one tablespoon of ginger; boil molasses and lard and pour boiling hot over sugar, ginger and soda, and stir. When cool enough to mix add flour. It is not necessary to stir all the time it is cooling. Mrs. H. E. Bigelow.
