Shoofly pie (or shoo-fly pie)〔''The Encyclopedia of American Food & Drink'' (ISBN 0-86730-784-6), by John Mariani.〕 is a molasses pie considered traditional among the Pennsylvania Dutch. The pie may get its name because the sweet molasses odor attracts flies that must be "shooed" away.〔(History notes on pie and pastry )〕〔(Shoofly Pie, Amish Country News )〕 The shoofly pie's origins may come from the treacle tart with the primary difference being the use of molasses rather than golden syrup.〔(History of Shoofly Pie )〕 A Montgomery pie is similar to a shoofly pie, except lemon juice is usually added to the bottom layer and buttermilk to the topping. A chess pie is also similar, but it is unlayered. Shoofly pie also comes in two different versions – wet bottom and dry bottom. The dry bottom version is baked until fully set and results in a more cake-like consistency throughout. The wet bottom version is set like cake at the top where it has mixed in with the crumbs, but the very bottom is a stickier, gooier custard-like consistency.〔(Traditional Shoo Fly Pie Recipe )〕 ==The Pie/Cake Controversy== Because of the cake-like consistency of the "pie", it could be said that it is not a pie at all and at best a "hybrid cake within a pie shell".〔(Best of Amish Cooking," Phyllis Pellman Good )〕〔(A Pie Called Shoofly )〕 Historically it was a "breakfast cake meant to be eaten early in the morning with plenty of hot coffee."〔(Dutch Country Cooking", William Woys Weaver )〕〔(A Pie Called Shoofly )〕 It is, therefore, thought by many that Shoofly "Pie" should be officially classified as cake instead of being included in that most exalted category of American pies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shoofly pie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
