SHOOFLY PIE
My grandmother made the best shoofly pie in the tradition of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Shoofly pie is to the Pennsylvania Dutch as pecan pie is to a Southerner. -Mark Morgan, Waterford, Wisconsin

AUTHENTIC SHOO FLY PIE (STRAIGHT FROM LANCASTER CO.)
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).

Steps:
- For the crust: In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the butter and shortening with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. If it still does not come together add more ice water as needed. Wrap the pie dough, tightly, in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a 10-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a pie plate and press it down into the bottom and sides. Fold the edges under and flute them or crimp them with a fork.
- For the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl cut together flour, sugar, brown sugar, shortening and butter until it resembles coarse crumbs; set aside. In another mixing bowl whisk together egg, molasses, hot water and baking soda. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell. Sprinkle the crumbs on top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The center of the pie may still quiver a bit when jiggled; it will firm up a bit more as it cools.
TRADITIONAL SHOOFLY PIE
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.

SHOOFLY PIE
The Pennsylvania Dutch are responsible for this gooey molasses pie, made easily from pantry ingredients to satisfy a sweet tooth any time of the year. I grew up in this area of Pennsylvania, eating slices for breakfast (on the sly) or as an after-school snack at one of the local bakeries. The deep, slightly bitter molasses flavor coupled with a sandy topping sends me back to simpler times.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and salt by pulsing 3 to 4 times. Add butter and pulse 5 to 6 times until texture looks mealy. Add lard and pulse another 3 to 4 times. Remove lid of food processor and spritz surface of mixture thoroughly with water. Replace lid and pulse 5 times. Add more water and pulse again until mixture holds together when squeezed. Place mixture in large resealable bag, squeeze together until it forms a ball, and then press into a rounded disk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place 2 (9-inch) metal pie pans in the refrigerator to chill.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out in the bag until it reaches the edges of the bag and is 10 to 11-inches round. Cut along 2 sides of the plastic bag, open bag to expose dough on 1 side and turn a 9-inch pie pan upside down on the exposed side. Invert the entire thing and gently pull the remaining side of the plastic bag off the dough. Press the dough into the edges around the pan and trim any excess dough. Press the edges of the dough over the lip of the pan. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Poke holes around sides and into the bottom of the dough. Place a large piece of parchment paper on top of dough and fill with dry beans. Press beans into edges of dough, set on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove parchment and beans and continue baking until light golden in color, approximately 7 minutes longer. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Allow to cool completely while preparing the filling.
- Decrease heat of oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crumbs: Place the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt into the bowl of a food processor and process until it forms crumbs. Reserve 1/4 cup and set both aside.
- For the filling: Place the baking soda in a medium mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla; whisk to combine. Add the larger amount of crumbs to the molasses mixture and whisk just to combine. Pour this mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of crumb mixture evenly over the top of the filling. Place pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the filling puffs, begins to look dry and starts to crack slightly. Remove from the oven, transfer to a rack, and cool completely before cutting.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add about one-third of the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Add the remaining butter and pulse 3 times, or until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water and the vinegar and pulse 3 or 4 times, just until combined (do not let the dough come together into a ball). Pinch the dough between your fingers; if it doesn't hold together, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, pulsing. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat the dough into a disk; wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Refrigerate the crust 1 hour.
- Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the filling: Whisk the flour, brown sugar and butter in a large heatproof bowl; set aside 2/3 cup of the mixture for topping. Whisk the egg, molasses and baking soda into the remaining brown sugar mixture, then whisk in 3/4 cup boiling water until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Sprinkle the reserved brown sugar mixture on top. Carefully transfer the pie plate to the hot baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is firm, 40 to 45 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool; serve warm or at room temperature.
SHOO FLY PIE
This wonderful sweet pie with such a scary name is a great favourite of mine. It's completely unknown in the UK. From Reader's Digest 'Cookery Year'. From the American Deep South as you guys will all know :) and taking it's rather off-putting name from the need to shoo flies away from the gorgeous sweet aroma whilst it's cooling on the window-sill. I was amazed to see that none of the recipes here use raisins. How odd, and really rather sad. They really make this a pie to die for! I like it best served still warm with a creamy vanilla Ice Cream. Apologies to Doanique but I am not able to reply directly to her. This recipe and the history of it is verbatim from the 'Readers Digest' 'Cookery Year'. I apologise for not doing my own intensive research to verify the accuracy of the historical data before posting a favourite recipe.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 425 Fahrenheit (gas mark 7).
- Prepare the shortcrust and roll it out thinly on a lightly floured board.
- Line a 7 inch flan tin or shallow pie plate with the pastry.
- Crimp the edges between finger and thumb for a decorative finish.
- Prick the base all over with a fork and cover with the raisins.
- Mix 2 ounces of brown sugar with 4 dessertspoonsfuls of hot water and the baking soda. (Note: I just checked on Google as I haven't used a dessertspoon measure myself for years! and 1 Imperial dessertspoon = 0.8 US tablespoons, so by my reckoning this would work out to be 3 TBSP + 3/4 TSP hot water. I think :).
- Pour over the raisins.
- For the topping, sift together the flour and spices.
- Cut the butter into small knobs and rub them into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the brown sugar and sprinkle over the raisins.
- Bake the pie on the shelf above the centre of pre-heated oven at 425 fahrenheit (gas mark 7) until the pie begins to brown.
- Reduce the heat to 325 fahrenheit (gas mark 3) and bake for a further 20 minutes or until the topping has set.
- Cut the pie into wedges and serve it warm or cold. "A jug of cream may be offered although it is not traditional.".

SHOOFLY PIE
Shoofly pie is often thought of as the cake baked in a pie shell, or so wrote Jean Hewitt, The New York Times food writer who offered this recipe in the paper in 1965. This pie was served at a Pennsylvania Dutch luncheon hosted by the International Cuisine Group of the College Woman's Club of Westfield, N.J., in the spring of that year. One of the organizers dug up the recipe from her mother's "Housekeeper's Scrap Book, 1896." There were four versions of the pie in the book; this was the one marked: "We like this one better."

SHOOFLY PIE
honest to goodness shoofly pie- so simple, so flavorful and chock full of molasses....from my roots in Lancaster county, PA, this pie is always welcome on the board. An everyday pie with 'in the cupboard' ingredients, it fits with every menu as it is deliciously light. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, it becomes a smash dessert. Leftovers work in this house as breakfast.

GOOD 'N PLENTY PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH SHOO-FLY PIE
Truly one of my favorite desserts ever! This recipe comes from the AMAZING Good 'N Plenty Family Restaurant in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. Bar none, my favorite restaurant ANYWHERE. (And I get around!) Try this, and prepare to be amazed by the delicious, gooey/crumbly, SWEET richness! One of the characteristics of a traditional Shoo-Fly pie is a crumbly, messy, almost floury crust on top...I understand that all tastes are different, and for that, I'm sorry you and DH didn't like it, Sistah. :(
