AMISH SHOO FLY CUPCAKES

I got this recipe from an Amish lady who brought baked goods to the local Farmer's Market. The old fashioned molasses flavor with the crumb topping makes these cupcakes very good. They are not as rich as ShooFly Pie, which I find almost too much. These are just right, in my opinion.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
1 c cold butter
1 c cold water
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 c molasses

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tins with paper liners. Sift flour and sugar together. Cut cold butter into mixture with a fork until mixture is fine and crumbly. Reserved 1 cup of crumb mixture for topping. Dissolve cream of tartar and baking soda in cold water. Mix water and molasses into flour crumb mixture. Stir until blended. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full and sprinkle with reserved topping.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until just done. Don't over bake, or cupcakes will be dry and not so good. Makes 24 cupcakes.

Tips:

  • Use molasses that is not bitter. If you find your molasses is too bitter, you can add a little bit of brown sugar to taste.
  • If you don't have cake flour, you can make your own by adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cupcakes light and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cupcakes.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Amish Shoo-Fly Cupcakes are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cupcakes a try!
