AMISH SHOO FLY CUPCAKES

I got this recipe from an Amish lady who brought baked goods to the local Farmer's Market. The old fashioned molasses flavor with the crumb topping makes these cupcakes very good. They are not as rich as ShooFly Pie, which I find almost too much. These are just right, in my opinion.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
1 c cold butter
1 c cold water
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 c molasses

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tins with paper liners. Sift flour and sugar together. Cut cold butter into mixture with a fork until mixture is fine and crumbly. Reserved 1 cup of crumb mixture for topping. Dissolve cream of tartar and baking soda in cold water. Mix water and molasses into flour crumb mixture. Stir until blended. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full and sprinkle with reserved topping.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until just done. Don't over bake, or cupcakes will be dry and not so good. Makes 24 cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially the molasses and spices, will result in the best-tasting cupcakes.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Cupcake Pan with Liner: Cupcake liners will help prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
  • Bake the Cupcakes Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cupcakes are fully baked.
  • Let the Cupcakes Cool Completely Before Frosting Them: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Amish Shoo-Fly Cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist and flavorful cake and sweet and tangy frosting, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
