Ingredients

Crumbs:

3 c. flour

1 c. sugar

1/3 c. shortening

Molasses mixture:

1 c. black molasses

1 c. warm water

1 tsp. baking soda

2 pie crusts

Preparation

Cut the butter into the flour and then add the sugar. Set aside. Mix together the molasses, water, and baking soda. Set aside.

Place the two pie crusts into 9" pie pans. Take three handfuls of the crumb mixture and drop them into each pie shell. Spoon in three large spoons of the molasses mixture. Repeat this process until both mixtures have run out, ending with the molasses mixture. Bake the pies in a 350 degree over for 40-45 minutes.
