INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup water, boiling
1 pie crust
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Mix the first 3 ingredients together, using the hands, and pinching mixture until very fine.  Add the water to the molasses and soda and beat until this is foamy and rises.

Pour this into a pie pan lined with pastry (a deep pan is preferable) and taking a spoon, mix the above crumbs well into the molasses filling.  Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
