Wet Bottom Shoofly Pie

In my last post I mentioned a Dessert very well

known to Pennsylvania...

ShooFly Pie...

I follow the Blog

The Pennsylvania Dutch Country Blog

and they have featured this Awesome Pie...

the only thing missing in the article is a recipe.

However, If you Google

ShooFly Pie..

You'll be sure to get several recipes you can try..

I found this "Wet Bottom" recipe on Allrecipes.com

it is very similar to my Wet Bottom Shoofly recipe...

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons shortening
•  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Directions

1. To Make Crumbs: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and shortening. Cut ingredients together with a pastry cutter or rub with fingers until dough forms fine crumbs. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. To Make Filling: In a medium bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Stir in corn syrup, molasses, salt and egg being sure to stir well. Pour 1/3 of mixture into unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle 1/3 of the crumbs over mixture. Continue this process until crumb mixture and liquid mixture have been used up.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes. 
   

The pie is excellent served warm with a huge 

scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream on top...

Or 

Whipped Cream....
