As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.
Our recent rediscovery of this book has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.
As Christmas approaches and the holiday baking season is entering full swing, this week we are featuring a recipe for ginger snaps. Full of hearty spices like cinnamon and cloves, these cookies are sure to satisfy your Christmas cravings.
As always, if you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
