Boiled Ginger Snaps

Ingredients

2 c flour
1 c brown sugar
1 c molasses
2 ts ginger
1 ts soda
1/2 ts salt
1/2 c water
1 c lard

Instructions

A note earlier in the cookbook suggests a hot oven should be in the range of 400-450 degrees (these recipes were devised for the ovens of wood stoves, apparently.) I'd say to go with 400F. Very crisp. Very gingery.
