1 c. molasses
1 egg or egg substitute
butter the size of an egg
2/3 c. boiling water
1 even tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. flour (measured even before sifting)
1 tsp. ginger or a grated nutmeg

This is an old recipe. I use a regular tablespoon of soft butter, which looks to me like a medium sized egg. I've also used egg beaters.

I dissolve the soda in the 2/3 cup of hot water. And I prefer the ginger for flavor.

Bake in 8x8 greased pan at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Delicious!

Easy and always comes out moist and good. A good keeper.
