"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
9" unbaked pie crust

1 c flour
3/4 c brown sugar
1 T Crisco
1 c molasses or dark corn syrup (or a mixture of the 2)
1 egg
3/4 c hot water
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1/4 c of hot water
Directions:
Directions:
Form crumbs from the flour, brown sugar, and Crisco.

Reserve 1/2 c for the crumb topping.

Dissolve baking soda in the 1/4 c hot water. Once it is dissolved, add the remaining water, egg, and molasses.

Add the remaining flour mixture (not the reserved crumbs) and mix well. I use a whisk to do this.

Pour into a 9" unbaked pie crust and top with the reserved crumbs.

Bake 35 minutes at 375º.

If you don't like a strong molasses flavor, you can use 1/4 c molasses to 3/4 c dark corn syrup or try it half and half, or 3/4 to 1/4. I would prefer the straight molasses, but everyone's tastes are different.

You can't grow up in PA Dutch country and not have a good recipe for a Shoofly Pie. You have one now if you didn't before!
