Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.75 cup Molasses
- 1 large Egg
- 1 whole 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and brown sugar.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping.
In a smaller bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the hot water, then whisk in the molasses and egg until well combined.
Pour the molasses mixture into the remaining crumb mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the molasses batter into the prepared pie crust, then sprinkle the reserved crumb topping evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. Best enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
