AUTHENTIC SHOO FLY PIE (STRAIGHT FROM LANCASTER CO.)



Authentic Shoo Fly Pie (Straight from Lancaster Co.) image

Born, raised & still residing in Lancaster County Amish/PA Dutch Country this is as authentic as it gets. This recipe is from the Mennonite Community Cookbook that's older than me & given to me by my mother. I saw a few other versions posted, but none were like this one. You could use 9 inch pre-pared pie crust but for the real deal you may want to start from scratch (see my recipe #163245 for the crust that goes with).

SHOOFLY PIE I

Shoofly pie is a moist, dark pie with a crumble top, made with molasses. It is low in fat (the crust contains nearly all the fat), and does not have an overwhelming sweet taste. It can be topped with whipped cream. This is a Southern dish.

TRADITIONAL SHOOFLY PIE



Traditional Shoofly Pie image

It's gooey sweet and unadorned by a top crust. What better invitation to come join the party does a hungry insect need? It should be called "molasses pie," but it's whimsically named shoofly because its "open" structure lures flies that must be shooed away. Shoofly Pie is thought to be a Pennsylvania Dutch creation, and may be a direct descendant of "Centennial Cake" introduced at the first World's Fair -- the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.

Time 2h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup warm water
1 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Place pie crusts in 9 inch pie pans. Chill the crusts approximately 1 hour before use.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the baking soda and warm water. Mix in the molasses and stir until foamy. Transfer the mixture to the pie crusts.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar and baking soda. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until very fine crumbs have formed. Sprinkle the crumbs over the molasses mixture in the pie crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking 35 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned and the filling has set.

  • Roll pie dough to a 1/8-inch thick circle and place inside a greased 9-inch pie pan. Cut excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under itself, creating a thicker ring of crust around the pie’s edge. Crimp edge. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and grease it liberally with butter. Place buttered surface inside the pie shell, allowing the pie dough to come in direct contact with the aluminum foil. Freeze crust for 1 hour or overnight. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust with aluminum foil for 25 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and use a spoon to press down any areas that have puffed up. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes. Use a spoon to press down any puffed areas again and set aside to cool.
  • Increase oven to 450°F. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Add butter and using your hands or a pastry cutter, incorporate butter into dry ingredients until no pieces of butter remain and mixture resembles cornmeal. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together molasses, boiling water, and baking soda until molasses is fully dissolved. Add beaten egg and whisk to incorporate. Pour liquid into pie shell. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture evenly across the entire surface of the pie. Bake for 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the top begins to brown and the center of the pie is set, about 12 minutes. Allow pie to cool completely before slicing and serving with whipped cream, if desired.
