Shoo Fly with King Syrup

List of Ingredients




Aunt's Favorite recipe
One 9 inch unbaked pie crust; Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Combine:
1 Cup flour,
2/3 Cup light brown sugar,
1 rounded tablespoon of Shortening.
Blend with a pastry blender till you have a very fine crumb mixture. Take out 1/2 cup of crumbs and set aside.

In another bowl combine:
1 egg slightly beaten,
1 Cup King Syrup ( I use dark Karo as it more closely
resembles King that is available in Pennsylvania but not where I live), [Phil's note it is a Golden Syrup]
3/4 cup cold water.
Blend with a whisk.

Into 1/4 cup hot water add 1 teaspoon baking soda and stir until dissolved.
Add to liquid mixture and blend.

Pour the liquid mixture into the crumb mixture and blend slightly.
Pour this into unbaked pie shell; sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbs across top of
liquid mixture.
Bake.
Cool, slice and ENJOY!
