Syrup Pie offers a sweet, rich flavor with a smooth, gooey texture, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a simple, nostalgic treat that pairs well with ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the egg, syrup, flour, shortening, and soda together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 300°F until set, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using maple syrup instead of regular syrup. If you're out of shortening, unsalted butter can be a great substitute. Make sure to beat the egg well for a smoother filling. To add a hint of spice, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the flavor. This pie is perfect for using up leftover syrup from breakfast dishes like Everyday Waffles.
Serving Suggestions
Serve syrup pie warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of coffee. For a delightful brunch option, consider serving it alongside Cinnamon Breakfast Buns or Doughnuts Ii.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover syrup pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes until warm. Enjoy it warm or chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a store-bought pie crust for this recipe?
Yes, using a store-bought pie crust is perfectly fine and can save you time. Just make sure it's unbaked when you pour in the syrup filling. If you prefer homemade, a simple pie crust recipe works well too.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and does not jiggle when you gently shake the pie dish. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-baking.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance. Just bake it, let it cool completely, and then store it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld nicely, making it even more delicious when served.
