Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pre-made mini pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Molasses
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the mini pie crusts on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture for the topping.
In a separate bowl, mix the molasses with boiling water. Stir until the molasses fully dissolves.
Add the baking soda to the molasses mixture and stir until it begins to foam.
Whisk the beaten egg into the molasses mixture until everything is fully combined.
Distribute the molasses filling evenly among the mini pie crusts, filling each about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the tops of each pie, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crumb topping is lightly golden brown.
Remove the Shoofly Minis from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
