Ingredients

1 cup molasses
0.75 cup hot water
0.75 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, beaten
1 (9 inch) pie shell
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
0.25 cup shortening

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather all your ingredients for this classic pie.
In a bowl, mix molasses, hot water, and baking soda. Whisk in the beaten egg until well combined, then pour into your prepared deep-dish pie shell.
In a separate bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs for the perfect crumb topping.
Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the molasses filling in the pie shell.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Enjoy your delicious homemade shoofly pie!
