  • Just to prevent a mess - place pie tin on a cookie sheet - this pie can bake/spill over.

SHOOFLY PIE



Shoofly Pie image

Shoofly pie is often thought of as the cake baked in a pie shell, or so wrote Jean Hewitt, The New York Times food writer who offered this recipe in the paper in 1965. This pie was served at a Pennsylvania Dutch luncheon hosted by the International Cuisine Group of the College Woman's Club of Westfield, N.J., in the spring of that year. One of the organizers dug up the recipe from her mother's "Housekeeper's Scrap Book, 1896." There were four versions of the pie in the book; this was the one marked: "We like this one better."

HERMITS



Hermits image

Dress up a cookie plate with these old-fashioned spice bars full of raisins, molasses, cinnamon, ginger and nuts. Then dip the chewy treats in coffee or hot cocoa on frosty days. It's said the cookies are called "hermits" because you can hide them out of sight, just like hermits, for days. They'll be just as good-maybe even better as the flavors blend and develop! -Jeri Tirmenstein, Apache Junction, Arizona

MOLASSES PIE



Molasses Pie image

This is a pie I did a few years ago when I was living with my parents. It gives a really large pie. I remember the filling was a bit too much so it went in the bottom of the oven. So maybe it would be better to use 2 pie crust. Or a really bit pie crust. And with a remaining in another small plate. This is from Jean Paré. You have to like the taste of molasses to like this pie.

Provided by Boomette

Categories     Pie

Time 1h

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 pie crust, of 9 inches

Steps:

  • Mix the 4 first ingredients in a bowl(flour to butter). With a pastry cutter or 2 knives, add butter until you have a rough texture.
  • In another bowl, mix baking soda and warm water. Add molasses, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Beat well.
  • Spread 1/3 of the rough mixture (step 1) in the crust, then pour the second mixture of molasses (step 2). Put the remaining rough mixture (step 1) on the pie. Cook on the lowest rack of oven, at 350 F from 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use dark molasses.
  • If you don't have raisins, you can substitute dried cranberries or cherries.
  • To make sure the pie crust is cooked through, bake it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving, so the filling has time to set.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This molasses and raisins pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying pie recipe, give this one a try.
