heccnuy Hdu Icquest ioh
recipe for pie made with molasses
and since I was not familiar with
many kinds in which molasses formed
the chief ingredient, went on an ex.
ploring expedition. To my way OF
thinking, most molasses pies are en-
tirely too sweet. In an old cook book
/ found this recipe under the name
crumb pie and it produced a product
which seemed most acceptable.
For crumb pie, line a pie pan with
crust rolled thin. Mix half cup
sorghum or molasses with one tea
spoon soda and when the bubling
ceases, stir in one cup water. Pour
into crust. Sprinkle two tablespoons
coarse granulated sugar over the top
Sift two cups flour with four table.
SPOONS sugar and into it work one
tablespoon butter, using fork. inns
will make a crumbly mixture. Pour
crumbs over top of pie and put IN
very moderate oven 600 degrees
and bake slowly until crumbs and
crust are golden brown-about one
hour.
Here is another recipe for molasses
