📝 Instructions
Prepare the Butterscotch Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in brown sugar until fully dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Slowly pour the warm butter-sugar mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the warm butterscotch filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
Smooth the top and let it cool at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set completely.
Garnish & Serve: Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans for extra crunch.
Slice and enjoy this creamy Southern masterpiece!
Storage & Tips: Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days, covered. For a caramelized top, use a kitchen torch to lightly brûlée the surface.
