• Place 2 (9-inch) metal pie pans in the refrigerator to chill.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out in the bag until it reaches the edges of the bag and is 10 to 11-inches round. Cut along 2 sides of the plastic bag, open bag to expose dough on 1 side and turn a 9-inch pie pan upside down on the exposed side. Invert the entire thing and gently pull the remaining side of the plastic bag off the dough. Press the dough into the edges around the pan and trim any excess dough. Press the edges of the dough over the lip of the pan. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Poke holes around sides and into the bottom of the dough. Place a large piece of parchment paper on top of dough and fill with dry beans. Press beans into edges of dough, set on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove parchment and beans and continue baking until light golden in color, approximately 7 minutes longer. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Allow to cool completely while preparing the filling.

• For the crumbs: Place the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt into the bowl of a food processor and process until it forms crumbs. Reserve 1/4 cup and set both aside.
• For the filling: Place the baking soda in a medium mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla; whisk to combine. Add the larger amount of crumbs to the molasses mixture and whisk just to combine. Pour this mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of crumb mixture evenly over the top of the filling. Place pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the filling puffs, begins to look dry and starts to crack slightly. Remove from the oven, transfer to a rack, and cool completely before cutting.

Stir in water and molasses. , Fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• On a floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim and flute edge. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes., Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°. For filling, mix brown sugar, molasses, egg, flour and baking soda. Gradually stir in boiling water; cool completely., Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil.

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl combine 3 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, and 1 cup of flour.
• Beat on medium speed until a soft dough forms.
• Use a mini muffin pan (only the mini will work, regular muffin pan size is too big) and scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup.
• Using your fingers work dough into the cup shape (all the way up the sides about an 1/8 in thick, and about a 1/4 inch thick on the bottom.).
• Continue until all the cups are made.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small sauce pan cook 1 Tsp of butter until lightly browned.
• In another medium bowl mix 1 egg, 1 cup dark brown sugar packed, 1 Tsp of browned butter, a pinch of salt, and 1 Tsp Vanilla.
• Blend well until a smooth dark brown runny mixture forms.
• Spoon the brown filling into each muffin cup about 1/2 to 3/4's full.
• Repeat until all cups are filled.
• Bake at 350 for approx 8-11 minutes. DO NOT OVERCOOK. The edge of the crust on the top of sides should be light brown. The brown filling will crust on top, and be runny in the middle.
• Optional: An additonal garnish is to place a pecan half on top of brown filling before baking.

Steps:

• To make the pastry: combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the ice water and work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle; to check the size, put the 9-inch pie pan upside down over the dough. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin (this may take a little practice) and lay it inside the pie pan. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and sides so it fits tightly. Trim the excess dough around the rim. Place the pie pan on a sturdy cookie sheet so it can prevent spills from burning in the bottom of the oven.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the filling: In medium-size mixing bowl, combine the molasses and water; stir in baking soda, eggs, and spices.
• To make the crumb topping: With a pastry blender, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and butter, until it is the texture of coarse crumbs. Take 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and put it in the bottom of the pie shell, pour in the molasses filling, and scatter the remaining crumbs on top.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the filling jiggles slightly and the top is firm. Let cool to room temperature before cutting. Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and line muffin tins with paper liners.
• In a bowl combine the cream cheese and 1 cup of butter and mix together. Add 2 cups of flour and mix into a dough. (I found it easiest to use my hands for this.) Shape dough into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls and press into the bottom of muffin tins.
• In another bowl mix the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and milk together. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of syrup mixture ontop of the dough in each muffin tin.
• Cream together remaining 1/2 cup of butter an.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Make the crumb topping: Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the consistency resembles cornmeal.
