Gingerbread
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine molasses, salad oil, sugar, spices, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the eggs to the mixture and beat until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 1/8 cup of boiling water, then stir it into the batter.
- Gradually add the flour and the remaining water to the mixture. Stir until smooth; the batter will be thin.
- Bake the Gingerbread:
- Pour the batter into a greased 9″x13″ baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30-40 minutes.
- Once baked, allow the gingerbread to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed hot or cold.
- Make the Glaze (Optional):
- In a saucepan, combine 1 stick of butter, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 cup of brown sugar.
