Best Gingerbread

One egg, one-fourth cup of butter, one-half cup of sugar, onehalf cup molasses, one-half cup of sour milk, one and one-half cups of flour, one level teaspoon each of soda and ginger, one-half teaspoon each of cloves and cinnamon. This will be very thin when mixed, but is all right.

— Mrs. F. W. Goodrich
