Recipe Review

This Pennsylvania Dutch recipe is a very interesting pie for a budget – coffee, molasses, flour and spices are the main ingredients. It is also a pie that you should have all the ingredients on hand to whip up in a hurry if you stock unsulfered molasses. The coffee was supposed to be warm not hot, but I used cold coffee and that might be why the filling foamed up so much spilling over the sides. Place a baking pan or sheet of foil under your pie plate. I used my bigger 9” pie plate and make the crust edges extra high and it was not enough to prevent overflow. I would much prefer a fruit or nut pie, but it was enjoyed by those who like this sort of pie. I like the explanation that it was usually served with coffee for breakfast and that sure make sense.
