Ingredients:
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, baked
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling
- Combine Ingredients: In the top of a double boiler, mix together the light brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and milk.
- Cook the Mixture: Place the double boiler over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 20 minutes.
Incorporate the Egg Yolks
- Add Egg Yolks: Once thickened, whisk in the beaten egg yolks gradually. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture reaches a custard-like consistency.
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat: While the filling is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Finish the Filling
- Add Flavor: Remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Assemble and Bake
- Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the butterscotch filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven. Bake until the top begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
Final Touches
Let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow the custard to set. For an added touch, garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt.
