Equipment
- pie dish 9" inch
Ingredients
- 1 cup molasses
- ¾ cup hot water
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted, cold
- 1 unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Whisk molasses, hot water, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
- Stir in the beaten egg until the mixture is smooth and well blended. The filling will be very thin.
- Pour the molasses mixture into the unbaked pie shell and set it aside briefly.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and butter. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the pie filling.
- Place the pie in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350° Fahrenheit and continue baking for 30 minutes or until the center is set and no longer wobbles. The pie may puff up during baking but will settle as it cools.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
