| 2 | cups | vegetable shortening | (no substitutes) |
| 2 | cups | sugar | |
| 2 | cups | blackstrap molasses | dark |
| 2 | teaspoons | cinnamon | ground |
| 2 | tablespoons | ginger | ground |
| 2 | teaspoons | baking soda | |
| 1 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 9 | cups | flour, all-purpose | up to 10 cups |
In a 5 quart pan, heat shortening, sugar and molasses on low, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Add cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough can be formed into a ball.
Using remaining flour, lightly flour a wooden board. Turn dough onto the board; knead until even in color and smooth (not crumbly or dry), adding more flour if needed.
Form into a log. Cut into 5 equal pieces; wrap in plastic wrap.
The recipe is great except that the ingredients left out ginger and put in too much cinnamon. It should have called for 2 Tablespoons ground ginger and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. When I made those changes, it made wonderful gingerbread of the perfect consistency for making large walls for a gingerbread house.

If you were a leprechaun what would use for an umbrella? I’ll bet you never pondered that one huh? dd...
A new twist on classic creamy carrot soup. Add a bit of lime juice for extra zing.
