1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
1 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
4 tbsp. butter or shortening
1/2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. molasses
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Pinch of cinnamon

Line a deep 9-inch pie plate with pie crust, making a high fluted rim. Mix flour, sugar and butter together with hands until crumbly. Add water to molasses, cinnamon and baking soda; beat with a spoon until foamy. Pour mixture into pie shell. Add crumb mixture, pressing it down into molasses filling, but leaving some on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, until bubbly and brown.
