This is a great recipe! I did have to sub dark brown sugar (out of light) and used canned evaporated milk (had no whole milk) and the texture of this filling was superb. You really do have to be patient with the thickening because I think I stirred constantly for about 20-30 minutes before I thought it was really thick enough for pie filing. I then took it off the heat and while still warm whisked out any lumps that may have formed. But I did cook it on low on a gas stove too. My patience was rewarded with a silky textured pie and fabulous flavor. Very well worth the effort!!!

This was amazing! I made it at the hunting cabin and even with a few substitutions it turned out great. My mother inlaw used lemon juice instead of cream of tarter in the meringue as we didn't have it at the cabin. It does take a long time stirring to thicken but any home made pudding does if you want to prevent scorching. My Husband and inlaws loved it. I will definitely make it again!!!

This turned out terrible for me. I doubled the recipe as stated by some of the others, let it cook over 1/2 an hour and it still never thickened.

Double (or triple) the butterscotch!! The recipe only makes an inch or two- not the four to five you need. I always top mine with whip cream, much better than mirange. It takes 30-45 min for the butterscotch the thicken. don't give up! A sweet vapor will start to rise continuously, and eventually the scotch will coat a spoon, and set a few min after going in the pie shell... so lovely!!

There was not indication of how long to get it to thicken. Mine was like soup and never thickened so I had to pitch it.

I just made this pie and I LOVVVE Butterscotch pie. This not only was easy but delicious. I used 2% milk and it made no difference in the thickness of the butterscotch.It was thick and firm enough to cut and stay intact when I served it. Hats off to you and a well deserved 5 stars

Yum! Wonderful and old-fashioned butterscotch pie. Was a little concerned that the filling wasn't thickening enough, so after about 20 minutes on the stove, I whisked together 1 T cornstarch in about 2 T milk, added to filling, and cooked until a bit thicker. Chilled the pie before serving and it cut perfectly, wasn't runny at all. Everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Pie was fantastic. I used a double boiler which made it so easy. I also reduced it enough so it stayed firm when I cut it. Delicious, Easy and a wonderful pie I will make again.

This pie was for my mother-in-law's 84th birthday. It is her favorite pie. I followed the directions as said and it looked beautiful. But, when we cut into the pie, my heart sank. It was runny not even thick like pudding. Tasted good but couldn't eat as a pie. I stirred for quite a while to thicken it up but never got thick like when I make pudding. Next time I will try to bring it to a full boil to see if that will thicken it up. The pie itself would have been delicious and it looked beautiful.

After reading the other reviews I was really excited to try this recipe. It was a very simple recipe. But, It does not taste like butterscotch. I was very diappointed. :(
Hint.....While melting your brown sugar go ahead and mix milk, eggs and flour in another sauce pan. Heat it until warm but do not let it start to thicken. This will speed up the process when you pour it into the sugar mixture.

I have been searching for an awesome butterscotch pie recipe for years. I had my grandmothers' recipe, but couldn't get it to come out correctly, so I turned to zaar. This one is awesome!! I used dark brown sugar and it had the perfect butterscotch flavor. The texture was great - it sliced easily and held its' shape, but was still the perfect soft consistency of a cream pie. Remember to be patient with the cooking time - this one takes a while to get to the right thickness, but it is so worth it. Pull up a chair to the stove and take a seat while you stir, cause it's gonna take awhile, but boy is it good. i also made a double batch for my 9" deep dish pan. I had some filling leftover, but that went right into some ramekins to set up. thanks for an awesome recipe!!

This pie was excellent! I made this today and my husband and I both love it. I did use dark brown sugar because that's all I had, otherwise, I made it exactly as written. I will definately be making this again as a pie and as a pudding, it was so creamy and smooth. Thanks for taking the time to share this wonderful recipe with us, Stacky5

I was looking for a butterscotch pie recipe to make for my husband's birthday and this is PERFECT! It is simple and quick to make. As he doesn't like meringue I baked the cooked pie crust with the filling as instructed, let it cool, then slid it into the fridge and topped it with whipped cream when I served it. This was a fantastic recipe - thank you so much for sharing!

It would help to know how 'thick' we're looking for when working on the butterscotch filling.
Really wish I'd seen the 'baked & cooled' part about the pie crust in the prep instructions, rather than taking the cooked pie out of the oven & discovering, 'Oh, hey. The crust isn't done.'

Oh this was soooo good!!! Yummy yummy yummy! The best and most delicious butterscotch pie I have tasted! So much better from scratch than from pudding! My 9 year old daughter and I made it together, and after a first mistake we got it down. Second time around went really smooth. We used whipped cream instead of meringue and it was very tasty! Looking forward to making it again and especially to EATING it again!!! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!

It was my grandma's 90th birthday last weekend and I asked my dad (who loves butterscotch pie) what was her favorite dessert!!! After thinking about it, he said butterscotch pie...knowing he would get to try it too! So I made one for the first time! After eating a piece, he said «You are the best cook ever...it was delicious!» Everybody had a piece and I have never had such great comments about my cooking. They all gave it a 5 star!

Sorry, the flavor was terrific, but it never ever set up, it wasn't just soft, it was runny. It thickened on the stove, then went runny. Also the meringue weeped, not just a little either, My daughter asked why the pie was crying, I told her it was sad cause it didn't set up. I will try again, but was really sad on this.
