This cookie has several names: Stage Planks, Rock n Roll Pies, Ginger Cakes or Ginny Cakes. No matter what they are called they taste wonderful. This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe printed in the New Orleans Time Picayune.

| |
| Ingredients |
| 1 cup molasses |
1 cup buttermilk/sour milk |
| 1 tbsp ground ginger |
1/2 cup solid shortening (original recipe called for lard) |
| 3 cups sifted flour |
1 tsp baking soda |
| 1 tbsp hot water |
| |
| | | Directions | Over medium heat in a heavy aluminum pot, melt the molasses, shortening and ginger together. Blend well. When the mixture is thoroughly melted and warm, beat by hand for about ten minutes. (Note you could probably use your mixer here).
Dissolve the soda in a tablespoonful of boiling water and add to the molasses mixture; combine thoroughly. Alternate adding the buttermilk and flour; adding the flour gradually using your judgment, adding just enough(more or less) of the three cups of the sifted flour to make a stiff batter.
Beat thoroughly and vigorously. Grease (oil) several shallow pans; pour the mixture into them and bake for ten minutes in a quick oven (400 degrees).
Enjoy with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of cafe noir'.
