Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c all purpose flour
2/3 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon margarine
1 c light molasses
3/4 c hot water
1 large egg
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
1 pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pastry in a 9 inch pie shell. With a fork or pastry blender mix together flour, brown sugar, and margarine to make a crumb-like mixture. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping the pie.
  • 2. Combine molasses, 3/4 cup hot water, and soda dissolved in another 1/4 cup hot water. Mix well. Stir in crumbs (those not set aside). Pour the resulting filling into pie shell. Top with the reserved 1/2 cup crumbs. Bake at 375 for 35 minutes. Serve pie warm or cool in small slices as it is rich. You may serve it with ice cream or whipped cream.
