Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) baked pie crust
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, then whisk the tempered yolks back into the saucepan.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
- Pour the butterscotch filling into the baked pie crust.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely set.
- Before serving, garnish with a pinch of sea salt (optional).
Notes
For an extra decadent touch, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of toffee bits before serving.
