I have been making this bread for years. It is one of our families faves. My recipe uses shortening instead of butter but I followed this recipe. I ended up running short of molasses so topped up what was needed with Maple Syrup. I did add almost an extra cup of flour during kneading. Made for Zaar Alphabet soup Game 2009
