The origin of the Shoofly/Shoo-Fly Pie/Shoe Fly recipe is debatable but several seem to agree that it’s a Pennsylvania Dutch original.

The name, Shoofly, Shoo-Fly, or Shoe Fly appears to have derived from the fact that hundreds of years ago, baking was done in a large outdoor oven and the pies were invariably cooled outside where flies were attracted to the sticky molasses.

Try a warmed slice with a dollop of whipped cream on top… along with a cup of coffee.

Always Enjoy!
