I grew up in Philadelphia. Every so often my Grandparents and my parents would take me for that Sunday ride. We would often go to Lancaster. One of my favorite things besides the smorgasbords was bringing home a slice of SHOOFLY PIE and having it when we returned home at night with a cold glass of milk before I went to bed and off to dreamland.

So being in the Amish community so many recipes are given between the Amish and Mennonite communities amongst their own and you can have them shared with you. Then there are tons of cook books. Me loving shoofly pie I was on a journey. I thought I had the perfect recipe until I moved out of the area. I met a person whose grandma was from Lancaster he shared this recipe that is very unusual and the best of the lot from the best I thought I made and from the endless of others I ever tried and made. I hope you enjoy this. This is very un-traditional and a very wet bottom shoofly pie.
