Butterscotch Pie

This old fashioned buttersctoch pie is made with a meringue topping. The butterscotch pudding filling is homemade, but you can save time with a packaged pie shell.

Prep Time: 12 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes

• 3 egg yolks
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• baked 9-inch pie shell
• 3 egg whites
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, heat egg yolks; add milk. In a small bowl combine 1 cup brown sugar, flour and salt; stir to blend. Add the sugar and flour mixture to the milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick. Do not over cook. Add butter, vanilla, and 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Pour into a baked pie shell.

Make meringue. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Top butterscotch pie with the meringue and bake at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned.
