all-purpose flour

salt

baking powder

shortening, cubed

sugar

dark brown sugar

vegetable shortening, cubed

water

baking soda

molasses

egg,

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9 pan with baking spray, place onto a baking tray and set aside. In a bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder, set aside.

Cream shortening and powdered sugar together until smooth and combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients.

Press dough into prepared pan, baking for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is slightly golden on the edges.

To make the crust:

In a large bowl combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in shortening until it resembles pebbles, and set aside.

In a different bowl combine water and baking soda, it will bubble. Mix in molasses and egg.

Pour the molasses mixture over the crust and sprinkle the crumb topping gently over the wet mixture.

Bake until only slightly gooey in the center about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

To make the crumble and filling:

These are my Grandma Marion&#x27;s Molasses Bars, also known as hermit bars. Chewy, delicious sweet bars for the molasses lovers!

Molasses Bars

white sugar

brown sugar

eggs

raisins

flour

cinnamon

allspice

Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 °F.

Cream the sugars and the margarine together. Add in your two eggs and beat in completely.

Add in the molasses to the margarine/sugar mix and mix in thoroughly.

Whisk together the dry ingredients.

Combine the wet and dry and mix well.Then add in your raisins.

Divide the dough into two pieces, and from each half form three long rolls on a cookie sheet.

Build them up as high as you can and they fit across a baking sheet, width-wise. When you build them up, you get a thicker, chewier bar.

Bake them in the oven at 375 for 13-15 minutes, and do not over/under bake. This from my grandma's instructions. So they need to be baked until the edges are cooked and the middle slightly still underdone.

Slice them across into about 8-10 squares when they are fully cooled, needless to say, this recipe makes a large amount, you can end up with 40-60 of the little bars!
