Mix in a large bowl one cupful of molasses, half a cupful of sour milk
or cream, one teaspoonful of ginger, one of cinnamon, half a teaspoonful
of salt. Dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in a teaspoonful of cold
water; add this and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter to the mixture.
Now stir in two cupfuls of sifted flour, and finally add two ounces of
Walter Baker & Co.'s Chocolate and one tablespoonful of butter, melted
together. Pour the mixture into three well-buttered, deep tin plates,
and bake in a moderately hot oven for about twenty minutes.
