Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°

  2. 2

    Combine flour and sugar in a mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Using a pastry blender, cut in butter/butter substitute until mixture is fine crumbed.

  4. 4

    Pour molasses in a separate mixing bowl.

  5. 5

    In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil.

  6. 6

    Add ¼ cup boiling water and baking soda to molasses. Stir until mixture is foamy/frothy and rises.

  7. 7

    Pour molasses mixture into pie crust/tin. Sprinkle the flour mixture over molasses, stirring it in until just combined. Even out top of pie.

  8. 8

    Just to prevent a mess - place pie tin on a cookie sheet - this pie can bake/spill over. Bake for about 25 minutes. Pie will rise and then start to settle.

  9. 9

    Cool on wire rack. We enjoy this perfectly plain, but some walnuts or pecans would compliment this nicely. Enjoy :)

does old-fashioned molasses pie use self rising or all-purpose flour?
