Shoofly Coffee Cupcakes (on left of
platter above)
I first tried this recipe in the form of
"Shoofly" Pie at the 1995 Unity Church Maundy Thursday Dinner;
it was made by Jean Barber. I still don't know where the name comes from,
but the image is very graphic. I changed the recipe some and made the
servings smaller since people really like small food items.
Mix & bring to boil.
2 cups boiling water
1 cup baking molasses
1 Tablespoon Baking Soda [must add in before boiling, or the whole thing
will volcano all over EVERYTHING]
Combine and set aside 1.5 cups of mixture for topping:
5 cups Flour
2.5 cups dark brown sugar
1.5 cup Cabot butter [always support local companies]
Use a measuring cup to fill cups about 1/3 to 1/2 full in:
Mini paper cupcake cups [available from Hannafords]
In a mini cupcake/muffin pan
Sprinkle topping generously on top. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes. They look
and taste kind of like coffee cake, although people often think they are
chocolate.
YIELD: About 24 mini cupcakes.
