This is an old family recipe, and well worth the time and effort.
Original recipe makes 5 -6 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup unsulfured molasses
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup melted butter

3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup warm water
6 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
