Crust
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 pinch salt
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 extra-large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon ground ginger

2
In a big bowl, cream the sugar, butter, and salt together until smooth.
3
Add the remaining crust ingredients and mix until smooth.
4
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, making a round 13 inches across and 1/4 inches thick.

Line a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with the dough; trim off the excess; bake 12-15 minutes or until the crust is nicely brown.

Pour into the baked pie crust; bake at 325u00b0 for about 15 minutes, until the filling sets into a soft custard; cool completely before cutting.
