Shoo Fly Pie
This looks quite gross going into the oven, and it can be too sweet for some...but it's good with french vanilla ice cream!You will need:
1 unbaked 9" pie crust
Crumb Topping:
1 C flour
1/2 C light brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/3 C butter
Liquid Bottom:
1 C boiling water
1/2 C light molasses
1/2 C dark corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
1 egg, beaten
(Serves eight or so.)
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Mix the crumb topping ingredients together with a pastry blender until well mixed and mixture resemble fine crumbs. Set aside.
Mix molasses and corn syrup, add boiling water and stir to mix.
Add baking soda and beaten egg and mix well.
Spoon into an unbaked piecrust. Spoon the crumb topping mixture over the top.
Place pie on a foiled covered baking sheet (trust me, if the damn pie shell overflows you don’t want burning sugar syrup all over your oven) and bake for about 40 minutes or until pie is medium set and dark brown. Serve warm or chilled.
