Attention Molasses Lovers!! This recipe comes from Justin Wilson's Homegrown Louisiana Cookin, and it is WONDERFUL! As you can see, this recipe has mixed reviews . . . seems you either love it or hate it! I've double checked the recipe and there are NO mistakes. If you are not a true molasses lover, than I suggest that you substitute all or part of the molasses with corn syrup.

1 tablespoon melted butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then gradually beat in the sugar, butter/margarine and flour.
3. Beat in the molasses, vanilla and salt.
4. Stir in pecans.
5. Pour the filling into the two unbaked pie shells.
