For a deeper molasses flavor, use blackstrap molasses. However, be aware that it can be quite strong, so you may want to reduce the amount slightly. Make sure your butter is cold! This will help create a flakier, more tender crumb topping. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 15 minutes of baking. This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly warm.

A taste of tradition! This Shoofly Pie is a deeply satisfying treat, reminiscent of simpler times. The rich molasses filling and crumbly topping make it the perfect dessert to enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 2/3 cup brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this mixture for sprinkling on top of the pie. (10 minutes)
