Pie # 19
Shoo Fly Pie

I picked up this little cook book when I lived in Montezuma, Georgia. I chose the recipe for Shoo Fly Pie from it.

It goes like this:

One 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Bottom Part Ingredients:
1 C. dark molasses
3/4 C. boiling water
½ t. baking soda

Top Part Ingredients:
1½ C. flour
1/4 C. shortening
½ C.brown sugar

Dissolve soda in hot water and add molasses.
Combine sugar and flour and cut in the shortening to make crumbs.
Pour 1/3 of the molasses mixture into an unbaked crust.
Add 1/3 of the crumb mixture.
Alternate layers ending in the crumb mixture.
Bake at 375° for approximately 35 minutes.
