How to Make Authentic Shoo Fly Pie Straight From Lancaster Co
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir in 1 cup of molasses.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of shortening. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- Add 1/3 of the crumb mixture over the molasses.
- Repeat layers two more times, ending with the remaining crumb mixture on top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving.
