Ingredients
1
egg yolk
1/2 cup
unsulphured molasses
3/4 cup
boiling water
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 cup
unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon
nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon
ginger
1/8 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/2 cup
brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 teaspoon
salt
2 tablespoons
room temperature butter
1
9-inch pie shell, unbaked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Blend in the molasses. Add the boiling water once you have dissolved the soda in it. Set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients. Add butter and work into crumbs with your fingers. Pour liquid into pastry crust and evenly sprinkle crumbs on top.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F, then lower heat to 325°F and bake for another 30 minutes. NOTE: If I had an 8-inch pie plate, I think it would be a better fit for the recipe, but this is how my mother wrote it out.
