Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture darkens and starts to thicken, about 5-8 minutes.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Whisk in the egg yolks, and continue to cook and stir until the filling is thickened.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
  4. Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust.
  5. Press a piece of plastic to the surface of the pudding and allow the pie to cool slightly while you make the meringue.

For the Meringue

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on high until stiff peaks form.
  3. Slowly stream in the sugar and whip until the meringue is shiny.
  4. Remove the plastic wrap from the pie. Spread the meringue over the pie and bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  5. Allow the pie to cool and set up for at least one hour.

Notes

  • Storage: Store pudding butterscotch pie covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
