Makes 24 regular cupcakes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Boiling water

Melt the butter in boiling water. Add the molasses to the melted butter and water.

Fold the liquid into the dry ingredients, mix until barely incorporated.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until the top is set, turn the oven down to 300 and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the cupcake comes out clean.
