Amish Shoofly Pie

Amish Shoofly Pie

1 (9-inch) pie crust, unbaked

Crumb Mixture:

(reserving ½ cup for topping)

2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon solid shortening

1 cup all-purpose flour

Filling:

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ cup boiling water

1 egg, beaten

1 cup molasses

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix brown sugar, shortening, and flour and set aside ½ cup for topping.

Combine soda with boiling water, then add egg and molasses. Stir well to create a syrup. Add crumb mixture, except for ½ cup reserved mixture. Pour into unbaked pie crust and cover with reserved crumb mixture.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes (until firm).

When cut into, the bottom may be "wet." This is okay because it is called a "wet bottom shoofly pie."

Serves 6-8
