151 Sugar Gingerbread
Mix a pound of sugar with six ounces of butter, dissolve a tea spoonful of saleratus, in half a tumbler of milk, and stir in, together with four beaten eggs, three tea spoonsful of ginger; when well mixed, add a pound and a half of flour, and roll it out about an inch thick, run a jagging iron across it, in parallel lines, an inch apart. Bake it on flat buttered tins, in a quick oven.
