shoofly pie - an old colonial recipe
(1 rating)
This pie is perhaps, the most famous of the Pennsylvania Dutch recipes. While there are no firm theories on how the pie got it's name, the explanation that the sweetness of this pie, made the flies a nuisance,seems logical ! There are 2 versions for this pie. Mine is the wet one,because of the bottom filling. The other one is called a dry one. Most cooks prefer this one.... Enjoy.
