Molasses Squares

Original Day Family Cookbook

Ingredients:

• • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup cooking oil

  • ½ cup molasses

  • 1-½ cup sugar

  • 2-½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon cloves

  • ½ teaspoon ginger

  • 1 cup raisins (optional)

Directions:

Beat eggs. Add cooking oil, molasses, and sugar. Beat well. Sift flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Add gradually with raisins (optional). This makes a stiffish batter.
