#DelilahRecipe ... Shoo-Fly-Pie (Notice the "Shoe" theme here?!)


In keeping with my shoe (or shoo) theme, I put out a request for a Shoo-fly Pie recipe. I crack myself up that way... I've had shoo-fly pie both "wet" and "dry" when I lived in Pennsylvania. It's relatively unheard of in many parts of the US and no-one asked here knew what I was talking about. It's a molasses based pie, sweet gooey, and delicious!

Christina answered my Facebook plea, and sent me the recipe below. I'm going to try it, and I want you to as well. Let's compare notes!
