Shoofly pie is a traditional dessert that originated in the United States, particularly associated with the Pennsylvania Dutch community. It is a sweet pie made with a filling of molasses, brown sugar, and sometimes corn syrup, all baked in a flaky crust. The pie is known for its rich, sweet flavor and is often enjoyed as a breakfast or dessert item. The name "shoofly" is believed to come from the idea of "shooing away" flies attracted to the sweet filling. This pie has a crumbly topping made from flour, sugar, and butter, which adds texture and enhances its sweetness. Shoofly pie is a beloved part of American culinary heritage.
