Molasses (Lassie) buns image

I brought this recipe home from Newfoundland, where my family was vacationing. It's a very robust soft cookie (not really buns) recipe and reflects the robust life on the big island. It is especially good eaten warm right out of the oven, but keeps well. Great for the winter holidays (lots of spice). If you like ginger snaps,...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c dark molasses
1 c warm water
1 stick butter
1 c white or brown sugar
5 1/2 c all purpose flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp allspice, ground
1/2 tsp clove, ground
1/8 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all dry ingredients. Cut in butter and mix until lumps of butter have been broken up and well-distributed. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the molasses. Mix well, adding the warm water as needed.
  • 2. Flour a cutting board or flat countertop and roll dough out to desired thickness (I usually roll it out to about 3/8" thick.) Take a large glass and, using the rim, cut out large circles. Turn them onto a greased cookie sheet.
  • 3. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F. (Time depends on the oven. I never go over 15 minutes and cookies remain soft). Recipe makes about 4 dozen large cookies. I generally halve all the ingredients to make a smaller batch.

These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste, even though I used less molasses than the recipe called for. Next time I'll try reducing the sugar as well.

The buns were a bit dry, but they had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding a bit more butter or oil next time.
