    COOKING LIGHT

    Recipe Introduction


    Thought to be of Pennsylvania Dutch origin, this type of shoofly pie is a dark, rich, very sweet molasses pie.

    List of Ingredients





    2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
    1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
    1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, divided
    3 1/2 tablespoons ice water
    Cooking spray
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup boiling water
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 cup molasses

    Recipe



    Combine 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; cut in 1/4 cup
    shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles
    coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time;
    toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball).

    Press mixture gently into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap;
    cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, to a
    12-inch circle. Freeze 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily
    removed.

    Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate
    coated with cooking spray. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Fold
    edges under; flute.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine remaining 1 cup flour, remaining
    1/4 teaspoon salt and brown sugar in a bowl; cut in remaining 3
    tablespoons shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until
    mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine boiling water and baking soda;
    stir in molasses. Pour molasses mixture into prepared crust; sprinkle
    flour mixture over molasses mixture. Place pie on a baking sheet;
    bake at 350 degrees 40 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
