Soft Gingerbread

Take one cup of sour milk; one cup of molasses; one teaspoon of soda; one tablespoon of ginger; one tablespoon of vinegar; five tablespoons of melted lard; flour to thicken. Dissolve the soda in the vinegar, add it to the molasses, and stir well. Turn the molasses into the sour milk, stir until well mixed, and add the rest of the ingredients. The success of this bread depends on the amount of flour used being exactly right. The batter should be so thin that the track left by the spoon in stirring disappears at once. When well made the cake is delicious.
