Maybe useful for those who need to eat cheaply--and dangerous for
those of us who just want something sweet...

From the February 1937 issue of American Cookery: dip slices of
white bread into molasses. Saute in "a liberal amount of butter".
Well, that might not be so cheap.... Cool slightly. They
suggest using heavy waxed paper as a holder.

I wonder how long it take for these to become crisp? Also,
whether this could be used as the base for some concoction--pears
and ginger come to mind....
