How to Make Shoo Fly Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crumb topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces). Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Prepare the crust:** Use your favorite pie crust recipe or store-bought pie crust. Roll out the dough and place it into a 9-inch pie plate.
- **Make the molasses filling:** In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in ½ cup boiling water. Add 1 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional), and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional). Stir well to combine.
- **Assemble the pie:** Pour the molasses filling into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filling.
- **Bake:** Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- **Cool:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
