Shoo Fly Pie [dry bottom]

llrothFamily WR, Legacy, Lynn, recipes Leave a Comment

This is the recipe I used to make shoo fly pie.  It is either the same that mom used, or very similar.  It is dry bottom and we ate it in a bowl of fresh milk from the barn!  Catherine Richard, the recipe source, was in mom’s life long SS Class at Sugar Creek Mennonite Church near Wayland, IA, where every potluck had a couple of shoo fly pies

Shoo Fly Pie was made from things typically found in the pantry–molasses, flour, sugar & butter.  When cooling in the window, it drew flies–which became its namesake–shoo fly!

 

Shoo Fly Pie [dry bottom]

Molasses based, simple, tasty pie. Best eaten in a bowl with milk. A great breakfast food! Sorghum makes a lighter colored pie, and does not taste as strong as molasses.

Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings 6 slices/1@large pie

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c sugar DRY MIX
  • 1/2 c butter DRY MIX
  • 1 1/2 c flour DRY MIX
  • 1 t cinnamon DRY MIX
  • 1/2 c molasses or sorghum LIQUID MIX Fresh molasses or sorghum is best, but not always available. Molasses, and sometimes sorghum, can be found at the grocery store.
  • 1 1/2 c hot water LIQUID MIX
  • 1/2 c sugar LIQUID MIX
  • 1/2 t baking soda LIQUID MIX

Instructions

  • LIQUID MIX: Make syrup using molasses, hot water, 1/2 c sugar, baking soda. Cool in fridge.
  • DRY MIX: Make crumbs: in a bowl add flour, sugar, cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbs are about nickel size. Do not over mix.
  • Set aside 1/4 c of dry mix to sprinkle on top before baking. Combine the cooled liquid with dry mix in the bowl; pour in pie shell.
  • Sprinkle remaining crumbs over the top of each pie and bake 375 degrees/40-45 min

Notes

--place tinfoil under pies in oven in case it cooks over the sides.
--underbaking does not create a wet bottom shoo fly pie!  The recipes are different.
--Freezes very well.  Sometimes Often used for breakfast.
Story:  Our mother use to send these in the mail to us when we moved away.  Once it went to 3 different addresses before it arrived at my brother's house. 
Such a pie arrived at my brother's house for his birthday.  My 12 yr old nephew was home from school before his dad was home from work.  Alas the expected pie was missing.  Days later, a few crumbs and a box, were found under my nephew's bed.

Banana Orange Sherbert 1 gal

Originally this recipe was from Capper's Weekly newspaper, mom said. Mom always had this around to eat instead of dad's home made ice cream. This came from Grandma Reschly, and many of the Reschly cousins are familiar with banana orange sherbert.

Cuisine Reschly, Roth, WR
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 16 1 c servings

Ingredients

  • 12-16 bananas must be ripe and sweet.
  • 9 oz orange juice concentrate, frozen add as concentrate.
  • 1 lemon extract fresh lemon juice from one medium sized lemon.
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 1/2 c sugar adjust to taste. Frozen concentrate has lots of sugar; ripe bananas have natural sugars too
  • 1 1/2 c coconut milk, evaporated milk, 1/2 & 1/2, or unadulterated cream

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl add peeled bananas: chunks, and a few slightly mashed. [Larger pieces leave more banana pieces in the final dessert.]
  • OJ, water, lemon. Add to bananas. Mix together by hand.
  • sugar, dash of salt. Add to mixture.
  • Add milk to mixture. Stir and add to freezer can [4-6 qt] Do not add additional milk or liquid to the can.
  • Freeze. This mixture contains more water than does traditional ice cream. It may freeze quicker and seemingly more abrupt.

Notes

-fresh squeezed orange juice does not replace the OJ frozen concentrate because it has lots of additional water.  I have added small chunks of the insides of fresh orange slices for additional flavor.
-coconut milk has more fat than other nut milks, making a smoother, less icy texture.  Evaporated milk, or fresh cream may be used as well.
-This mixture contains more water than does traditional ice cream.  It may freeze quicker and seemingly more abrupt.
