This is a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dessert. It features a buttery crust, a rich and gooey molasses and lemon filling, and a light buttermilk-cake top. It's an old recipe that has a long history, and most families take pride in passing on their recipe to their children and grandchildren, so future generations can carry on...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
- 2. BOTTOM LAYER: Thoroughly combine molasses, sugar, egg, water, flour, lemon juice and zest. Pour the batter into the unbaked pie shell; set the pie aside.
- 3. TOP LAYER: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat thoroughly. Sift the remaining flour and baking soda together and then add it to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Mix until well blended. Add it to the pie shell, spreading it evenly over the bottom layer.
- 4. Place the pie shell in the oven, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is lightly browned across the entire surface. Let cool completely before serving.
