There are shoofly pies, and then there are shoofly pies! In other words, there are about a zillion different recipes. I come from the central PA area around Lancaster, where the Pennsylvania Dutch love this pie. I haven't always cared for it, but I have a recipe now that I enjoy --- but it is so intense that you have to share the pie with 12-16 others. (This said by a gal who can polish off a third of a cherry-cranberry pie in one sitting) My shoofly recipe has blackstrap molasses in it, making it a dark bottomed and intensely flavored pie. Good stuff!
