Because I'm on a mission to clear out the freezer, I needed to make a pie. Why? There was a store-bought pie crust taking up too much space.
Looking through my Easy to Bake, Easy to Make cards, I found a recipe for Classic Shoofly Pie.
Recipe lived up to it's claim...very easy to make.
Baking soda and hot water, molasses and dark corn syrup, egg and dark brown sugar. A crumb mixture of flour, dark brown sugar and butter. Topped with more of the crumb mixture.
Very PA, this recipe. Of course, I'm from the Western part of the state; you get this sort of dessert more often on the Eastern side...Amish, and all. Good people, those Amish.
Sweet, brown sugar-y; but not like biting into a lump of it. Matt had two pieces, so I guess it was good!
Just a couple of reminders: you'll want to get your EoMEoTE entries in...the deadline is this weekend!
Also, Blog Party#3---The Big Game Night is coming up soon (funny how quickly time flies), so start thinking about your entries.

- Butterscotch Meringue Bars

- Imbb 13: Cupcakes
(Pats self on back) I finally did it; I found out about IMBB before it happened, and came up with my very own, and yummy (if I do say so, myself), creation. My entry? Dulce De Leche-Filled Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Frosting Yeah,...
- Toffee: Candy Of Brittle But Tender Texture Made By Boiling Sugar And Butter Together
The latest creation for Matt. He loves it. The cake was wonderful; it had the look and texture of a spice cake, but was really quite pleasant. And of course, the crunchy toffee topping was fabulous! TOFFEE BAR COFFEE CAKE 2 cups all purpose...
- Bananas + Blueberries = Goody!
Revisiting another grand classic - Baking by Flavor. I'd bought blueberries for a bargain, and had a couple of bananas turning to that exact stage of ripeness where there's nothing you can do but use them for baking. Or make a smoothie, but the...
