How to Make Evie's Shoofly Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
  3. Cut in ½ cup cold shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons boiling water.
  5. Stir in 2-4 tablespoons cold water until a soft dough forms.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
  7. Stir in 1 cup molasses to the egg and brown sugar mixture.
  8. Gradually add the baking soda mixture to the molasses mixture, stirring until just combined.
  9. Pour the molasses filling into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  10. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the filling.
  11. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  12. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  13. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and bake for an additional 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
