Ginger Muffins Recipe

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until blended. Fill greased muffin cups half full. Bake at 350° for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
