Ginger Bread.

From Mom's Recipes box.

1/2 cup Shortening. 

1 cup Molasses. 

1/4 cup Milk. 

1 Egg. 

2 cups Flour. 

1/3 teaspoon Salt. 

2 teaspoons Ground Ginger. 

1 teaspoon (Baking) Soda. 

Melt the Shortening and add it to the molasses  with the slightly beaten egg  and the milk. Mix thoroughly.  Then beat in the flour salt ginger and soda sifted together. Turn into one large or two small, well greased shallow pans and bake about 25 minutes in 350 - 370 oven.  Remember that any mixture containing molasses burns more rapidly than one which sugar is used for sweetening.
