In small bowl beat eggs; stir in milk, then molasses. Pour liquid into dry and stir just until moistened. Do not overbeat. Pour batter into pan and smooth out. Cover with a baking sheet. Place on top rack directly above water. Bake 12 hours. (It will be ready after 4, but the old-timers seemed to feel "the longer the better".) File
