This Dolly Parton's Butterscotch Pie Recipe is sweet, creamy, and very comforting. It has a rich butterscotch filling and a soft crust that melts in your mouth.
Bake the pie crust until light brown. Let it cool fully.
Melt the butter
Heat butter in a saucepan. Stir until it melts.
Add sugar and mix
Add brown sugar to the butter. Stir until smooth.
Add milk and heat
Pour milk slowly. Keep stirring the mixture.
Add eggs and cornstarch
Whisk eggs with cornstarch. Add this mix to the pan.
Cook until thick
Cook the filling on low heat. Stir until thick and creamy.
Add vanilla
Add vanilla and stir well. Turn off the heat.
Fill the crust
Pour the butterscotch filling into the baked crust.
Chill the pie
Place the pie in the fridge. Let it chill for a few hours.
Notes
Use fresh butter for rich flavor. Stir the filling nonstop to avoid lumps. Let the pie cool fully before serving. Use real vanilla for better taste. Add whipped cream for a soft finish.
