Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350°
2

Combine flour and sugar in a mixing bowl.
3

Using a pastry blender, cut in butter/butter substitute until mixture is fine crumbed.
4

Pour molasses in a separate mixing bowl.
5

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil.
6

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

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

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