In Pennyslvania, is it "shoo - fly" pie, or "shoe - fly pie...  I've
encountered both...

"Why is it called a shoo fly?

Its name came about this way: in the 19th century, “shoo-fly” was a
common American interjection that entered the vocabulary from a popular
minstrel song. Just as it implies, it was used to scare away pests,
often accompanied with the flapping of hands...

The primary ingredients of the filling are molasses, brown sugar, and
water. Serving the cake in pie crust made it easier for people to eat it
with their hands in the 19th century. It comes in two different
versions: wet-bottom and dry-bottom...?
