Directions:
This makes a very large gingerbread: 4 fair-sized pans. Bake as you want, the longer it is kept in the refrigerator, the better the flavor. I have kept this a month before baking. I did this 25 years ago when frozen pies and cakes were unheard of. Bake at 375 degrees

Personal Notes:
I got this recipe from one of Nana's (Marie Smith) cookbooks. Substitute vegetable oil for the bacon drippings. It is so nice to bake up a yummy pan of gingerbread just by spooning some batter from a bowl in the frig.
