Is that 1/2 C or 1 C of boiling water? Would love to try this sometime!

Fabulous texture. The moist, tender crumb is just perfect, and it's astonishingly quick and easy to make. I needed to use up some fresh ginger, so I grated it and mixed about 1/4 cup into the flour mixture. If you like ginger, give that variation a try. I'm going to go cut myself another piece.

My Grandmother made these years ago and I forgot what we needed for the dough. Thanks so much. Now I can make them up with my Granddaughter.
