Here's a simple and no-fail version that can be created with staples from the pantry.
Ingredients
Crumbs: (Reserve 1/2 cup for topping):
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Crisco or other solid shortening
- 1 cup flour
Filling:
- 1 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prick sides and bottom of pie shell with fork (this keeps shell from bubbling). Combine soda with boiling water, then add egg and syrup.
Add crumb mixture; dont worry about lumps. Pour into unbaked pie crust and cover with reserved crumbs.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes or until firm. Let cool before slicing.
