 1/2 ts Cloves
 1/2 ts Nutmeg
   2 ts Baking soda
 1/2 ts Baking powder
   1 c  Water; boiling

I am posting in response to the request for gingerbread recipes. This
is a really scrumptious recipe my mother got out of a ladies' aid
society type cookbook from the 1960'.  The yogurt glaze is what makes
it--strange but true.

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Beat the butter with the sugar until light
and fluffy. Add the eggs and the molasses. Sift the dry ingredients
together, then add them to the butter-sugar mixture alternately with
the boiling water. Mix just until smooth. Pour into a greased 9x9"
baking dish and bake for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, Make Glaze:

Mix all glaze ingredients in a saucepan and boil for 1 minute. If
you're squeamish about the whole cloves, take them out after boiling.
As soon as the gingerbread comes out of the oven, prick it all over
with a toothpick and pour the glaze on. Allow it to set for several
hours.
