Authentic Southern
Shoo-Fly Pie

It is said that this pie got it's name because
as it sat on the window sill to cool they had
to wave ars to shoo the flies away from it.
It's a good pie if you like sticky sweet pies.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup molasses
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
One 9-inch frozen ready-to-bake pie shell, thawed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour,
the corn syrup, molasses, eggs, and baking soda;
mix well and pour into the pie shell.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup
flour, the butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg;
stir until crumbly then sprinkle evenly
over the corn syrup mixture.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until firm.
Serve warm, or allow to cool to
room temperature before serving.
