Ask a question about this stepThanks, my husband is just home after a heart attack last Friday - he is doing better than I - let's talk...It's a simple recipe that works.
What a scare! I'm glad he's doing well & you will soon, too.
Thank you, Stephanie. Today is my 60th birthday and you have given me a great gift by awarding my mother's shoofly pie an EP. A New Yorker, she would had gotten a big kick out of an award for a "Dutch" recipe.
Wow, what a beautiful woman, and a great sounding recipe. I've never had shoofly before, I think it's time.
It's a simple recipe made easier if you buy the crusts that come in red boxes in the deli section of the grocery store. My Mom didn't like the taste of pie crust and neither do I - but don't tell anyone...;)
aw, i love this! i was actually thinking of posting my mom's shoo-fly pie too, but now will pick a different recipe. got to love the pennsylvania dutchy roots! glad to see you are in the wet bottom camp =)
Shoofly pie is my favourite of all pies! Delighted to see someone else share the deliciousness of what is known, in our family, as "foofoo pie".
Thanks, everyone - this has been such an emotional day for me, and I know I'm not alone here...Maybe this Mother's Day will feel easier.
Shoofly pie completely fascinates me- yours looks delicious- and wow your mom was so stunning!
Okay, I simply must ask . . . did your mother also make Apple Pan Dowdy? Or did she ever mention it? I always associate the two . . . ;o)
I love apple pandowdy...I make it for Thanksgiving every year!
I love the photo! Your mother was so glamorous! The recipe looks fantastic and I'm putting it in my saved file right now.
What a beautiful photograph of your mother. I'm so enjoying all the stories about our moms. What a gift this is to all of us this week. And I LOVE the recipe and have added it to my "to cook" list.
This recipe fascinates me. I must try it!
