Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup sorghum molasses
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)

Directions:

  1. Cream shortening with molasses in very large bowl, then add in one beaten egg.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients adding milk in as you mix. Add Vanilla. Beat to a stiff dough.
  3. Flour your counter and lightly flour your rolling pin. Roll out to thickness of pie dough. (VERY THIN) This dough will make 9-10 layers.
  4. Cut out your circles with a scalloped pie pan. Place rounds of dough on a cookie sheet (I line it with wax paper) 2 at a time. And bake 12 minutes at 350°F.
  5. After all rounds are baked, put layers together with a homemade or sweet flavored applesauce.
  6. Let set before serving. Great also warm with vanilla ice cream.
  7. My time chart is if you also made your own applesauce (peeling coring etc.).
