1. 1

   Cut the candied ginger into very small (about 1/8 inch) pieces with a very sharp knife. Set aside. Sift together the flours, baking soda, salt, pepper and ginger.

2. 2

   Put margarine into a large mixing bowl and cream with the sugar. Add the molasses, egg and vinegar. Add the chopped ginger, then the flour mixture. Divide the dough into three parts for easier handling. Place in foil and refrigerate overnight. Rolling out the dough is best accomplished on a cold surface, if possible, because dough gets sticky as it becomes warmer during handling.
