The best butterscotch Pie recipe that there is.. at least that is what I have heard.. :)
1/4 cup real butter
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks, separate eggs (keep the whites for meringue topping)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teas salt
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked and cooled
3 large egg whites (reserved from pie filling recipe)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350°.
Stir brown sugar and butter in a saucepan until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cook 2-3 minutes longer on low-medium heat, and then remove from fire.
Beat egg yolks.
In separate large bowl, mix flour with 1/2 of milk, until smooth. Then add beaten egg yolks and salt and mix well. Blend remaining milk with this mixture.
Add flour mixture to saucepan with sugar/butter mixture and cook on low/medium heat until thickened, stirring CONSTANTLY.
Remove from heat and blend in vanilla extract. Stir CONSTANTLY until well blended and slightly warm and then pour into a baked 9" pie crust.
Top pie with meringue
After meringue is spread on top, Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes, or until meringue is golden. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
