Rivel Pie

I’m told that “rivel is German for “crum”.  This is an Amish recipe.  Good when finished, even better to nibble at while mixing!

Rivel Pie

1 cup flour

½ cup sugar

½ cup butter and shorting, mixed

2 T. molasses

Mix or “crumb” the above ingredients together with your hands to form small lumps or rivels.  Put rivels into prepared pastry shell.  Spread top with molasses.  Bake in a hot oven (400) for 30 minutes.
