GINGERBREAD RECIPES
Gingerbread and Ginger cookies arrived in Indiana as early
as 1814 with George Rapp and his followers, who settled on
the Wabash River and built the town of Neu Harmonie, now known
as New Harmony. Here is their Gingerbread recipe from the
Rappite Cookbook

Cream shortening, add sugar and mix well. Add eggs and beat
well. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with
sorghum and hot water. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes.
