How to Make Molasses Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (cold and cut into cubes), and ½ cup granulated sugar. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 tablespoons warm water. Let sit for 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup molasses, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- Add the baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
- Divide the crumbly crust mixture in half. Press half into the bottom of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Pour the molasses mixture evenly over the crust.
- Crumble the remaining crust mixture over the top of the filling.
- Place the pie on the lowest rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges loosely with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
