Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons shortening

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • ½ cup dark corn syrup

  • ½ cup molasses

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Directions

  1. To make the crumbs: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and shortening. Cut ingredients together with a pastry cutter or rub with fingers until dough forms fine crumbs. Set aside.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. To make the filling: In a medium bowl, dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Stir in corn syrup, molasses, salt, and egg, being sure to stir well. Pour 1/3 of the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle 1/3 of the crumbs over the mixture. Continue this process until the crumb mixture and liquid mixture have been used up.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
