Shoo Fly Pie

I’m back with another of my Grandma’s recipes. This time I made her Shoo Fly Pie. I thought it would make a great addition to your Easter dinner.
Shoo Fly Pie
I have a printable version of the recipe for you at the bottom of this post.
As is becoming typical with my Grandma’s recipes, the directions were not of today’s cookbook standards. At least not the cookbooks I use. So, I was once again, making it up as I went a little bit.
This recipe was super easy to pull together.Shoo Fly Pie
I highly recommend that you cook your Shoo Fly pie on a baking sheet. Not only does it make it tons easier to pull the pie out of the oven, but this pie has a tendency to expand and drip all over. With the baking sheet below the pan, it catches all the drips and you don’t have a super messy oven to clean up.
I had only ever eaten my Mom’s version of this pie, not my Grandma’s. My Mom’s version and my version are different. I have no idea if one is right and one is wrong. They are just different. I guess I will find out when my Dad comes to visit next time, since he grew up eating my Grandma’s pie and could tell me the difference.
Shoo Fly Pie
I think my pie came out a bit more dense than it was supposed to. I think it is supposed to have more of that dark, molassses, gooeyness that you can see at the bottom. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or if it is the fact that I use white whole wheat flour which is more dense. Sometimes recipes have to be fiddled with a little bit when I am using this type of flour.
Shoo Fly Pie
It was still delicious… at least to me. My husband doesn’t like molasses, so he didn’t even want any. My kids both took one bite, turned up their noses and declared that they DO NOT like Shoo Fly Pie….so I can’t give this recipe ringing endorsements, but it smelled delicious and was a great walk down memory lane for me. I remember the smell and yummyness of Shoo Fly Pie from my childhood. Sometimes we ate it for breakfast if I remember correctly.
Shoo Fly Pie
Hopefully, if you give it a try, you will have great results and really enjoy your pie! It would be a great addition to an Easter celebration, maybe even for breakfast should you like pie for breakfast! 😉

    Can’t wait to taste this version of Shoo Fly Pie. It was a breakfast food and the gooier the better. Grandma’s that she taught me to make did not have a pie crust. Your Shoo Fly is beautiful and looks delicious. Good work. C3

      That is weird that you said hers didn’t have a pie crust because it was written on the card to use a pie shell. I have some saved in the freezer for Dad and you to try when you come visit next month. Hopefully it will do OK in the freezer.
      See you soon,

    Oh My Gosh! I grew up on this pie and didn’t get my Mom’s recipe!!! I’m 70 years old. We used to call it “Choker pie” for obvious reasons….it’s dry eating. So, we picked wild blackberries that my Mother canned in syrup and which we then slathered on our piece of pie when we ate it. Yummmm…..nostalgic! Thanks for posting this.

      I’m so glad that I could give you a recipe with such memories for you! I’ve never heard it called choker pie, but I’m certain my husband would love hearing that name! 😉
      Take care,

    I thought I’d made a shoo fly pie once long ago but when I looked at your recipe it doesn’t sound familiar. I don’t remember putting the filling into the crust in two parts. I would like to use whole wheat too and I think I remember reading that when substituting it to only use 7/8 cup of whole wheat for every cup of all purpose called for in the recipe. (That would be 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons substituted for every cup called for.) Does anyone else know if that’s correct?

      I think that what you are remembering about the whole wheat seems correct. I’ve never tried it, but I know I always need to add extra liquid, so reducing the amount of wheat seems like it would work. Why not give it a try and see what happens? If you do, let me know what happens.
