How to Make Shaker Kentucky Shoo Fly Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup molasses and ½ cup boiling water, stirring until the molasses is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Pour ⅓ of the molasses mixture into a 9-inch pie shell (homemade or store-bought).
  7. Sprinkle ⅓ of the crumb mixture evenly over the molasses layer.
  8. Repeat layers two more times, ending with a generous layer of crumbs.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
