CRUMB TOPPING

LIQUID BOTTOM

Combine the flour, brown sugar, and shorting in a bowl. Cut with pastry blender or rub together until it forms fine crumbs. While preparing the liquid, put unbaked pie shell in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. This prevents bottom from getting soggy.

To make the liquid, dissolve the soda in the boiling in a bowl. Add the Molasses and salt and stir to blend well. Pour the liquid mixture into the prebaked pie shell and add the topping mixture. Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 350 degrees and bake 30 minutes longer until the center does not move when it is shaken.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
