 1-1/2 c  Unbleached white flour
     1 c  Sugar
     2 ts Ginger; dry, not fresh
     1 ts Cinnamon

 Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8 x 11-1/2 x 2 baking dish with Pam.
 Spray, as well, the bowl of a measuring tablespoon. Set both aside.
 Combine flour, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl. Using a
 pastry blender or two knives, cut in shortening. Scoop out about
 1/3 cup of this mixture, and set aside for topping. Add the soda
 and salt to the buttermilk, stirring. It will foam. Set aside. Pour
 egg into larger amount of topping. Add the molasses, measuring it
 in the Pam sprayed tablespoon and pouring it in directly. Stir the
 batter a few times, then add the buttermilk mixture.  Stir to blend
 ingredients, but don't worry about a few lumps. Turn batter into
 prepared baking dish and sprinkle with topping. Bake in preheated
 oven for 30 minutes, or until toothpick tests clean. Serve, if
 possible when still warm, plain or with whipped cream, ice cream,
 frozen yogurt, or baked apple.
