So I'm watching a show that takes place in Scranton and a very matter of fact reference was made regarding shoofly pie.

What the Heck is that? All you pennies on here help me out.

I've heard of it but can't say I've ever eaten one. It sounds good though.

Here's one I bet you never heard of grape hull pie, usually made with muscadine hulls.

I'm not from PA , but I have had shoofly pie. Good stuff , tasty.

Cake type or wet bottom shoo fly pie?
My wife makes both, and the cake type makes good cupcakes with pecan praline frosting

Mine too!!!

Warrior has a good recipe and pic above.

Good stuff!

Can't tell us what all's in it, I just woof it down.

Brown sugar and molasses plus the regular pie makin stuff-flour, eggs, bakin powder, etc.

It's almost a thick molasses pudding in a pie shell. From that description, it sounds like the molasses would be overwhelming - it isn't. More solid than pudding but still sticky. Really good. Sweet enough and rich enough that two pieces are too much.

Finding good molasses is the key. Mom makes the best

Heard of it my entire life. Never knew what was in it and never knew anyone that'd ever had it or knew what it actually was. Hmmm, might just have to give it a try if for nothin else just to say I've had it! Thanks!

It sounds alot like a dark Karo pecan pie minus the pecans.

Very much like pecan pie.

Thats sounds great

Most around here is wet bottom pie.

Here's pic of molasses my wife uses:

Pike river, please go to Lancaster,PA and check it out for your self.

Who remembers the old song "Shoofly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" ?
