Good 'n Plenty Pennsylvania Dutch Shoo-Fly Pie
By: GoodMorningBurger
Sep 15, 2006
Truly one of my favorite desserts ever!
This recipe comes from the AMAZING Good 'N Plenty Family Restaurant in the heart of Lancaster County, PA.
Bar none, my favorite restaurant ANYWHERE. (And I get around!)
Try this, and prepare to be amazed by the delicious, gooey/crumbly, SWEET richness!
One of the characteristics of a traditional Shoo-Fly pie is a crumbly, messy, almost floury crust on top...I understand that all tastes are different, and for that, I'm sorry you and DH didn't like it, Sistah.

We have never had Shoo-Fly Pie before, so I don't know how this stacks up againest other recipes. However, we did not like it. When I read your blurb about being prepared to "be amazed" by this to DH, he commented, "be prepared to be amazed at how bad this is." I followed recipe to a T. The molasses part was a bit bitter, not at all sweet, and the topping!! Well, it maybe needs more shortening or something. It wasn't a nice crunchy top, but more floury than anything. It just wasn't to our taste. Sorry. We won't be finishing this pie. Neither one of us wants another piece.

This was so easy to prepare! Very quick, and although I don't like molasses, I had every intention of making it for my husband who was born and raised near Lancaster PA. He LOVED it! Kept doing the Mmmmm... this tastes just like I remember! So thank you for a great recipe that takes him back to his childhood! 
I'll definitely make it again for him!

This the same recipe I have served my husband for many years. My recipe came from a booklet I bought at the Good 'N Plenty Family Restaurant! This is not a sweet pie and is a bit like liver - either you adore it (like my DH) or you don't (me). My problem is an allergy to the molasses. This is the only pie I make that my DH goes back for a 2nd piece and a glass of milk at bedtime. Good find GoodMorningBurger!
