A good, basic gingerbread. The recipe makes a lot, but can be halved and baked in an 8- or 9-inch square pan.

Yield: Serves 12-14.

• 3/4 cup shortening
• 1-1/2 cups molasses
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup boiling water

Cream shortening and molasses; add egg. Stir in dry ingredients and mix well. Add boiling water, and mix. Bake in greased 1 3x9-inch pan at 350 degrees F for half an hour or until done. Serve hot with whipped cream.
