Use a mixture of butter and lard for the shortening. Cream the
shortening and sugar together. Add eggs and beat thoroughly. Add the
molasses and baking soda which has been dissolved in the boiling
water. Sift the flour and ginger together and combine with other
ingredients. Mix well. Pour into well-greased muffin pans and bake at
350-F about 20 minutes. Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book - Fine
