3/4 cup dark molasses
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp baking soda

so don't be alarmed!
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Make sure your butter is at room temperature.
Line a 9" pie pan with a pastry shell. In a
375° oven, bake the pastry shell for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
Now, pour about 1/3 of the liquid mixture into the
baked pie shell. Sprinkle with about 1/4 of the dry mixture so that you go all
around the pie and let soak for a minute. Pour another 1/3 of the liquid mixture on
top and add about another 1/4 of the dry mixture and, again, let soak for a minute.
Finally, add remaining liquid mixture and top with remaining dry mixture, making sure you
spread the dry all around the pie.
Bake, still at 375°, for 30 to 35 minutes and let
cool.
