Shoo Fly Pie
Shoo Fly Pie
Shoo Fly Pie is a favorite dessert in the Amish community, and there are many different variations. Some are more like coffee cake than a pie. The name comes from the days when pies were cooled on the windowsill, and the sweet filling would attract pesky flies, which the cook "shooed" away.

Here's a simple and no-fail version that can be created with staples from the pantry.

Ingredients

  • 1 deep dish pie shell
Crumbs: (Reserve 1/2 cup for topping):
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Crisco or other solid shortening
  • 1 cup flour
Filling:
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prick sides and bottom of pie shell with fork (this keeps shell from bubbling). Combine soda with boiling water, then add egg and syrup.

Add crumb mixture; dont worry about lumps. Pour into unbaked pie crust and cover with reserved crumbs.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes or until firm. Let cool before slicing.
