We all know the usual suspects when it comes to pie and we love them, but it’s also a beautiful thing when you discover something that seems so new and wonderful. Then… just when you think it can’t get any better, you realize that your new, amazing dish was actually a hit long before your time. A classic, vintage recipe! It’s that same feeling you get when you find an unexpected one-of-a-kind treasure at a flea market that still holds up despite the passage of time. That is what happened when we revived this Shoo Fly Pie recipe for you, not realizing that there were decades of history behind it. Silly us. This pie revival turns out to be a timeless baked item with unexpected flavors to remind you of everything good, both past and present.
This nostalgic recipe was invented just after the Civil War in the 1870s when the Pennsylvania Dutch bakers invented baking powder. The name hails from a popular brand of Shoe Fly Molasses that was used during that era. We found that it really was the molasses that shined through and surprised us with its flavor. Along with hints of cinnamon, they both ramped up the flavor and filled the kitchen with a sweet and spicy aroma.
