We visited with Grandma Cole a few weeks ago, and attended the Hull picnic with her. Jane and Jonathan also came to be a part of the Hull celebration. (Jane took the picture with Joanna's camera:))Enjoy the recipes that follow. The first one is from Grandma Cole.
Soft Ginger Cookies
2 c. molasses
1 c. lard
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. sour cream
1 T. ginger
2 eggs
3 1/2 t. soda dissolved in sour cream
Flour to make stiff dough
(start with 2 or 3 cups)
1 t. salt
To sour cream you can add 1 t. vinegar to 1/2 c. sour cream. You may omit 1 c. molasses and add 1 c. sugar; also uses 1 c. sour cream.
(Temperature and baking time are not included in the recipe. So a guess: 350 degrees for 10 minutes).
A recipe from Mrs. Sophie Cross. She resided in Mason City, Illinois. She was Grandpa Dunker's sister.
Sugar Cookies
2 pt. sugar
1 pt. lard
1 pt. sweet milk
4 eggs
4 level t. baking powder
Flavor; flour to mix soft; roll thin, bake quick.
(Another guess: 375 degrees for 7 minutes.)
Until later.
