Place the tart crust in the pan and neaten the edges.
Rub the flour, brown sugar, salt, and butter with your fingertips into crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the molasses, hot water, and baking soda until foamy.
Sprinkle half of the crumbs over the base and pour the molasses mixture on top.
Spread the remaining crumbs over the surface and bake the tart until the filling sets.
Let it cool completely until warm before slicing.
💡 Tip: Add the baking soda to the hot molasses mixture and pour it right away; the quick foam helps the filling set lighter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature in thin slices, optionally with plain coffee.
