1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325.

2. 2

   Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   Add the eggs and the molasses.

4. 4

   Sift the dry ingredients together, then add them to the butter-sugar mixture alternately with the boiling water.

5. 5

   Mix just until smooth.

6. 6

   Pour into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish and bake for 40 minutes.

7. 7

   Mix all the 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.

9. 9

   Allow it to set for several hours.
