Pennsylvania Dutch SHOOFLY Pie Recipe ~ Unique Amish Molasses Pie
This SHOOFLY pie is unique but good. It is an old Amish Pennsylvania Dutch recipe and is a molasses based pie. I grew up in Central Pennsylvania amongst the Amish. We use to get our milk, eggs and meat from the Amish. It was a great relationship and I was, and still am, fascinated with their culture.
The Shoofly pie is said to get its unusual name from the sweet sticky molasses. The flies are so attracted to the sweet molasses that they need to be "shooed" away.
Ingredients listed below.
In a bowl mix flour, brown sugar and cut in butter until crumbs. Take out half of mixture and set to the side.
To the crumbs in the bowl add corn syrup, molasses, pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg and egg. Stir until incorporated.
Heat one cup of water to boil. Add baking soda and stir.
Add water to batter and stir.
Pour batter into unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle remainder of crumbs on top.
Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes until set and firm.
Enjoy.
