More Molasses

Going through my recipe box—a couple of things are really apparent…

1) Never met a ginger-molasses cookie recipe i didn't like, it seems

2) The ratio of dessert recipes to entrees is kind of embarrassing. 

It also left me wondering about use of the word 'scant'. It now sounds so-o 
archaic, but used to be common in hand-written recipes or cookbooks
published by ladies' auxiliary groups.  Love reading those books.

And speaking of archaic.  
FLOUR! SHORTENING!and REFINED SUGAR! 
Sigh.
