Beat and stir hard to lighten the egg. Add one teacup of New Orleans molasses, two even teaspoons of soda dissolved in cold water, one tablespoon of vinegar, a little salt, one tablespoon of ginger, two teaspoons of cinna- mon, three-quarters of a teaspoon of cloves, three-quarters of a teaspoon of allspice, and four teacups and a half of flour.
