A traditional recipe that makes two 9-inch pies. You can really taste the molasses! Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 egg, beaten |
1 cup molasses |
2 cups water |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups flour |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1/4 cup shortening |
2 9-inch pie shells, unbaked |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine white sugar, 4 Tbsp flour, egg, molasses, water, and vanilla.
2. Bring to a full, rolling boil; set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, butter, and shortening; rub together with fingers to make crumbs.
4. Pour 1/2 of cooked mixture into each unbaked shell; cover each pie with crumbs.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
6. Note: This pie is even better when cooled, the second day!
