Ingredients:

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup molasses
3/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup hot water
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pie crust in a shallow 9-inch pie plate and flute the edges.

In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt; mix well and reserve 1 cup mixture.

In a medium bowl, combine egg, molasses, and cold water; mix gently and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix hot water and baking soda and stir into molasses mixture. Stir molasses mixture into flour mixture and pour into pie shell. Top with reserved flour mixture.
