Ingredients:

1 cup syrup or molasses​
1 cup brown sugar​
4 eggs​
1 tbsp. butter​

Instructions:

One cup of syrup or molasses, one cup of brown sugar, four eggs, one tablespoon of butter; beat all together, as soon as the custard is removed from the oven, moisten a little sugar with water, and spread evenly over the top of the custard. Bake it in one crust. Try it, and you will be very apt to try it again, whenever molasses gets down to a reasonable price. - Columbus Sun​
