CAKES AND COOKIES
PEPPER NUTS
Mix into a baking pan 3 pounds of molasses, 1 pound of sugar, 1/2 pound of lard or butter, 4 teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, and 2 each of cloves and ginger. Place on the stove and bring to a sharp heat, then take from the stove and stir in 3 1/2 teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in boiling water. Lastly, stir in 4 1/2 pounds of flour, and let stand in a cool place over night. In the morning work out into half-inch rolls, cut in inch lengths, place in pans not too close and bake in a moderate oven.
