    Homemade Butterscotch Pie

    Published: Dec 13, 2012 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 4 Comments

    Nothing beats homemade butterscotch, especially around the holidays.  I love, love, love homemade butterscotch!  This sweet confection is popular in Amish kitchens because you probably already have the ingredients for a good butterscotch in your pantry.  Marilyn, a long time Amish Cook reader tried the recipe and shared some photos with us.  Yum!  Try this Amish recipe here:
    BUTTERSCOTCH PIE

     

    Homemade Butterscotch Pie
     
    Print
    Ingredients
    • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie shell
    • 2 eggs
    • 1-½ cups brown sugar
    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 1 /2 cups water
    • 2 cups milk, scalded
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup butter
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • Whipped cream topping
    Instructions
    1. Set out pie shell. In a large, heavy saucepan, combine ¾ cup of the brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and continue cooking for about 3-½ minutes or until mixture is thick and bubbly. Set aside.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the flour and blend until smooth. Add the remaining ¾ cup brown sugar and blend. Slowly add the scalded milk, stirring constantly.
    3. Over low heat, reheat the sugar-water mixture until liquefied again. Pour the milk-egg mixture into it, stirring with a rubber spatula all the time. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture bubbles up and is very thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
    4. Add salt, butter and vanilla extract. Let cool for 15 minutes, then pour into baked shell. Chill in your cellar or if you have a refrigerator until set. Frost the pie with the whipped cream topping.

      How much water? It doesn't say in the ingredients.

      This looks awesome. I love butterscotch. I don't cook, but I may be tempted to try this. Butterscotch pie is my husbands favorite.
