Shoofly Pie 2

Directions

Combine the flour, brown sugar, and shorting in a bowl.

Cut with pastry blender or rub together until it forms fine crumbs.

While preparing the liquid, put unbaked pie shell in preheated oven at 350℉ (180℃) for about 5 minutes.

This prevents bottom from getting soggy.

To make the liquid, dissolve the soda in the boiling in a bowl.

Add the Molasses and salt and stir to blend well.

Pour the liquid mixture into the prebaked pie shell and add the topping mixture.

Bake in 400℉ (200℃) oven for 10 minutes.

Reduce the oven to 350℉ (180℃) and bake 30 minutes longer until the center does not move when it is shaken.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
