OLD-FASHIONED GINGER SNAPS

     1 cup molasses               ¼ tsp salt
     ½ cup butter                 flour
     ½ tsp baking powder          ½ tbsp ground ginger

Bring molasses to boil and boil for two minutes. Stir in butter, baking powder, and salt. Mix in enough flour to make a very soft batter. Mix in the ginger. Drop by teaspoons onto greased baking sheet and flatten with a wet fork or a sugared glass. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375°.
