Shoofly Pie Recipe

Despite all the molasses, this pie is rich, rather than overly sweet.

Prep Time 25 mins
Cook Time 55 mins
Total Time 1 hr 20 mins
Cooking Temperature 190 C / 375 F / Gas Mark 5
Course Desserts and Sweets
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Molasses
  • ¾ cup Water boiling
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Pie Crust

Instructions
 

  • Start oven heating to 190 C / 375 F / Gas Mark 5.
  • Line the bottom of a pie pan with the crust.
  • Mix together the brown sugar, butter and flour, rubbing it with your hands to make a loose crumble.
  • Put the boiling water in a bowl, stir in the baking soda, then stir in the molasses and the beaten egg. Setting aside ½ cup (about ⅓) of the crumb mixture, stir the rest of the crumb mixture into the molasses mixture, then pour the molasses mixture into the pie shell.
  • Sprinkle with the crumble that you set aside.
  • Bake at 190 C (375 F) to start for 10 minutes; then lower the heat to 175 C (350 F). Bake for a further 35 to 45 minutes. It is done when a knife inserted into the centre comes out relatively clean, and the filling appears firm.

Notes

You only need a bottom crust, not a top crust.
Use an 8 or 9 inch (20 or 23 cm) pie pan.
The bottom of the filling may still be slightly moist when you take it out of the oven, but it will set.
Optional: flavour the crumble with ⅛ teaspoon each of any or all of the following: ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves.
