    How To Make Shoofly Pie At Home

    A pie is perfect for every occasion. Today I will be sharing with you the recipe of Shoofly Pie. I hope you also like the recipe like I do.

    Shoofly Pie is a traditional pie in Pennsylvania Dutch since 1880s. My grandmother makes the best Shoofly Pie. Since childhood, I have been eating this pie and loving it. This time I wanted to make this pie on my own. So I asked my grandma for her recipe. She helped me understand every detail of the recipe and here I am sharing the recipe with you.

    Shoofly Pie can be made by combining the molasses, baking soda and hot water in a bowl with beaten eggs. Transfer this to the pie shell to make the bottom layer of the pie. For the crumb topping, combine brown sugar and flour. Add some shortening and spread it on the molasses. Bake it in the preheated oven first and then reduce the temperature and bake again.

    You will know more details in the recipe further. You can even make pie crust a night before. This will take some load off the day you are going to serve the pie. But first, I’ve mentioned some other cherry pie recipes that I think you should definitely try at your home.

    1. Lemon Meringue Pie– An incredible, classic sweet and tart dessert, lemon meringue pie is more like a sweet dream. The pie filling surely makes you crazy, prompting you to have it over and over again. Nothing can beat a simple and quick-to-make lemon meringue pie.

    2. Chicken Pot Pie– Have you ever imagined pie in a pot? If no, then you should definitely try this chicken pot pie. It is a pot pie that includes a variety of fillings like meat, vegetables, and gravy.

    3. Green Tomato Lattice Pie– Green tomato lattice pie is a dessert. Surprisingly, it seems like a savory pie, but green tomatoes do not taste like any vegetable. They have a really basic texture and are good at soaking up the spices. This pie tastes much like apple Pie. 

    4. Buttermilk Pecan Pie– This pie is sweet and nutty like all the other pecan pies. But butternut pecan pie is much creamier than any other pecan pies. The tang because of the buttermilk in it will bring a whole new flavor to the pie.
