2 teaspoons baking powder |

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |

Directions:
1. cream together the fat and sugar, add the egg and molasses and beat well -
2. Mix and sift in the remaining dry ingredients.adding the boiling water last.
3. Pour into shallow well greased pans or muffin cups - (not sure, but with the tendency of molasses to scorch.I think I will try it in a 13x9 pan first -
4. bake at 325* for 20-25 minutes - Raisins may be added if desired - before adding boiling water - .
