Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup molasses |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted |
5 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |

1 cup sugar (optional) |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine egg and sugar in a large mixing bowl; beat well. Add molasses, buttermilk, and butter; mix well.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices. Add to molasses mixture, blending well. Cover dough, and chill at least 1 hour.
3. Divide dough in half. Working with one portion at a time, place dough on a floured surface; roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured doughnut cutter.
