I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar. Until I make this myself, I will leave the original description written by the original poster... A Pennsylvania Dutch origin, but not sure about this recipe though it's really good.
Ingredients:
2 9-inch pie shells
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon boiled coffee
1 cup molasses
1 beaten egg
Directions:
1. Hand mix crumbs until crumbly and coarse like corn meal.
2. Divide into 4 parts.
3. Put baking soda in water then add coffee.
4. Add molasses.
5. Cool mixture then add beaten egg.
6. Divide liquid into 4 parts and put 1 part into each piecrust.
7. Add 1 part of crumbs on top.
8. Let stand about 5 minutes so crumbs absorbs the liquid.
9. Then add 1 part of liquid and crumbs until filled, leaving a layer of crumbs of top.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
11. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake additional 40-45 minutes.
