An old recipe for "Shoo Fly Pie" calls for a half-cup of "B sugar". I'd love to try making this recipe, but I don't know what "B sugar" is........is it B for brown? or B for a brand name? or B for beet sugar? or is it from the days of World War II sugar rationing?

The other ingredients are: syrup, soda, boiling water, flour, and "butter like an egg".

If I can't find out, I guess I'll just have to make Jeff Davis pie again.

Hi,

If your recipe is handwritten, it most probably refers to brown sugar. Check your recipe against otherson the web and you'll know more.

I always shorten Brown sugar to B sugar when I am copying a recipe.
