''Pardon the slly ques, but what in heaven's name is a ''Shoo-fly Pie''? Is this part of the Thanksgiving meal...a deep Southern tradition of which I perchance unaware...?

 

[ZiSunka]

Amish and mennonites love shoo-fly pie, which is a very sweet molasses and brown sugar concoction poured into a pie shell. I can eat a tiny sliver, then my mouth begins to rebel and I can't eat anymore.

 

[seebs]

Oh, that sounds tasty.

Going on vacation for a bit, thought I'd post a cheerful good-bye thread in the cafe-style threads. Been good hanging out, and I'll see you folks again sooner or later.

Thanks for the answer Lamb - next question:.....the name????

 

[ZiSunka]

Because it has so much sugar, flies are attracted to it, so you have to shoo the flies away!

I assume you looked at the first page of this thread? Try the recipe!

It's easy to make. You can use an unbaked pie crust purchased at the market, if you like. My mom says Pillsbury is the best. She's a caterer, and this is one of her few shortcuts, but she won't use any other brand.

 

[Man with Thorn]

Thanks, no I didn't look at the first page in enough detail to read the recipe, but I'm going to now -

I sense a cooking experiment coming on. I assume a short pastry base will be okay? I don't think Tescos here in the UK are big in pre-prepared Shoo-fly pie bases!

I must be honest, I actually thought a 'shoo-fly pie' was a polite name for a cow-pat!
Now, where are my sunglasses so I can look cool again...

Honest mistake. Around here we call those meadow muffins or cow pies.

 

[IamAKingsKid]

I never liked shoo fly pie, but my hubbie does, he likes anything real sweet....thats why he married me!!!!!

 

[SumTinWong]

Groan...

 

[IamAKingsKid]

awwwwwwwwww, come on now.....it wasnt that bad!!!

 

[Man with Thorn]

...lemme guess, you don't have sugar in your coffee, 'cos you're.......sweet enough ???

(sorry Uncle Bud, couldn't resist that one)
