"shoofly pie"의 정의 및 의미

What is "shoofly pie"?

Shoofly pie is a sweet and indulgent dessert that is beloved in the Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish communities for its rich and unique flavor. The pie features a filling made from a combination of molasses, brown sugar, and sometimes even ginger, which creates a sweet and sticky filling that is poured into a pastry crust. The crust can be made from either a sweet or savory dough, and is often crumbly and buttery in texture. The pie is then baked until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown and flaky. Shoofly pie has a distinct flavor that is both sweet and tangy, with a molasses flavor that is not too overpowering. It is often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea, and can be served warm or at room temperature.
