Shoo-fly Pie

Came upon this recipe this evening and thought I'd share it with you all. I haven't tried it in a very long time, however, if I remember correctly, it turned out well and tasted good.
Crumb Part:
3/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar

Liquid Parts:
3/4 tbsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup molasses, ginger,cinnamon & cloves
3/4 cup hot water

Pastry for 1 crust pie

Work the ingredients for the crumb part together and set aside.

Mix the ingredients for the liquid part together, adding the hot water last. Into an unbaked pie shell, combine the crumbs and liquid in alternate layers with crumbs on the bottom and top.

Bake 15 minutes at 450 degrees, then 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Looks good, but how much ginger, cinnamon and cloves?

My late Mom used to love Shoo-fly Pie and would usually buy hers at our local Amish food store. I never would eat it, but lately I am trying all kinds of new foods out. Must be that I realize that life is too short and I'm afraid I'm missing something....
Thanks for the update.

ohhhhhhh....... I love shoo fly......gonna go make one...lol. I made the spanish bar cake as well a few weeks ago. I kinda took both recipes given in here and altered them a bit.. I omitted the shortenin and added the oil and a half cup of water...making it 3/4 cup liquid. I baked it in a bread pan ... removed it...cut it into thirds lengthwise...and iced. OMG......delicious. I hate coffee.......but.......I couldn't stop thinking about the coffee grinder at the A&P...lol.

I had found a website that advertised they could get some A&P products. So I emailed them and asked if they shipped because the way it was written, you had to live nearby their business for a "pick-up" only.
They emailed me back that "Yes, we do ship to FL" and "What type of products am I interested in?".
So, I emailed them back, "Spanish Bar Cakes and Jane Parker Light Fruitcakes".
They never bothered to even tell me, "NO!! H E L L NO!!!"......the scmucks

haha......too funny....scmucks!!
