DANVILLE, Pa. — We are celebrating Christmas Pennsylvania Dutch style! Shoofly Pie is delicious molasses flavored dessert that is prepared in many PA Dutch homes as a Christmas tradition. We visited Mary Hollingshead from Montour County who prepared her family's version of Shoofly pie. She also told us a bit about her family customs and showed us some of the traditional cookies they made for the holidays.
Pennsylvania Dutch ( Pennsylvania Germans or Pennsylvania Deutsch) are descendants of Germans who immigrated to Pennsylvania before 1800.
