Shoo-Fly Pie with Whipped Cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

Prepare 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell.

BOTTOM PART: In medium size mixing bowl, combine corn syrup, molasses and water; stir in baking soda.

Beat a little of the molasses mixture into lightly beaten egg, stir this back into the mixing bowl.

TOP PART: With pastry blender, mix together flour, shortening and brown sugar until it is the texture of coarse crumbs.

Take 1 cup of the crumb mixture and mix it into the molasses mixture, then pour into unbaked pie shell.

Scatter remaining crumbs on top.

Bake in 400-degree oven for 25 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and filling is puffy.

Remove from oven, let cool to room temperature before cutting.

Top with whipped cream.
