List of Ingredients




1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (see note)
1 cup light-brown sugar, packed
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
Baking soda
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup light molasses

Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.

Cut in butter, with pastry blender or two knives, until mixture is like coarse cornmeal.

In medium bowl, combine molasses, 1 cup boiling water, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and the egg. Mix well. Add one-fourth of the crumb mixture (1 cup). Stir until well-blended.

Pour into unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle top evenly with remaining crumb mixture. Bake 50 minutes, or just until filling is set in center (shake pie gently; center should be firm).
