Grandma's Classic Shoofly Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, in a medium-sized bowl, merge molasses, hot water, and baking soda. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, blend the ingredients until they form a smooth mixture.
3
Add a beaten egg to the bowl and mix it in thoroughly until everything is well combined.
4
Pour this mixture into a deep-dish pie shell to create the base of your dessert.
5
In another medium-sized bowl, combine flour and brown sugar to create a mixture of dry ingredients.
6
Using your fingers or a pastry blender, break down the shortening into small pieces and mix it with the flour mixture until you get a texture that resembles coarse crumbs.
7
Sprinkle this crumbly mixture evenly over the top of your pie filling to add a layer of texture and flavor.
8
Place the pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent it from sticking and make cleanup easier.
9
Bake the pie in your preheated oven for 15 minutes at a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
10
After the initial baking time has passed, reduce the oven temperature to a moderate level of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
11
Continue baking the pie for an additional 30 minutes to allow it to cook evenly and develop its full flavor.
