Shoofly Pie, Streusel and Molasses and so delicious!

Shoofly Pie, a southern classic. A pie built from molasses and lots of streusel crumbs. Delicious as-is, but as always adding a little whipped cream on top makes it perfect to enjoy any time of the year. 

Shoofly Pie is rich with molasses!

When I was thumbing through the More with Less Cookbook I came across this recipe for Shoofly Pie, and I knew instantly it had to make it onto our table. I didn't make it right away, instead, I waited a bit and made this Shoofly Pie for our Thanksgiving dinner. And I have to tell you, it is delicious plain or with a bit of whipped cream. But I think you already know which route I took with my piece of pie...

Ooops, I almost forgot to share this recipe!

Then before you knew it winter had come on strong, and the whole family was busy with snow shoveling, commuting to work, caring for the chickens, and a new baby in the house to love and enjoy. And I became so busy with so many things I forgot to share the recipe. Fortunately, this is not a one-season recipe. Shoofly Pie can be enjoyed whenever a delicious pie is needed! Plus the added benefit of this recipe is that it does not take any special ingredients or a special trip to the market. This is definitely a well-stocked pantry recipe...

Personally, I love vintage recipes, and this one is a keeper. 

Vintage recipes are usually tried and true recipes, they taste great and I usually have all the ingredients on hand! If you enjoy molasses, you too will love this pie. I don't know exactly what it is, but there is something about this recipe that calls out to me. It might be the flavor because I am a molasses fan. But it could just as easily be the fact that this is a very old recipe dating back hundreds of years. And you just know, that Shoofly Pie has been enjoyed by so many folks, around the table or at a social gathering and I seem to really like that in a recipe!
