OF all the holiday goodies few things
~ give more pleasure to the little folks
than the gingerbread horses. and other
animals, including men, made just as our
Srandmothers made them years ago.
If you cannot get the tin cutters cut the
desired shapes out OF pasteboard. lay on
the dough after il is rolled to the proper
thickness and then cut out by running
pastry wheel or sharp knife through the
dough. Here is the recipe for the dough
that has stood the test OF a century: Put
two cups of molasses and a cup or soft
ened butter in a bowl and beat until well
blended Add a cup of sour milk and stir
it in well, then dissolve level tablespoon
full of baking soda in a quarter OF a cup
of hot water and stir Ii through the mix
ture Add a tablespoonful of cloves. gin
ger to taste and the grated rind or
lemon and St in enough -four to make
stiff dough. Roll out on the molding
board very thin, cut out the shapes. put
in a well Toured dripping pan and bake III
a moderate oven When done and sun a
little warm, frost lightly. Some In white,
some in pink and some with chocolate
