How to Make Pennsylvania Dutch Shoofly Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup boiling water until the mixture is foamy.
- Stir half of the crumb mixture into the molasses mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the molasses mixture into a 9-inch pie shell (homemade or store-bought).
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pie is set, firm, bubbly, and lightly browned. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
