For Joyce in Ky in the same newsletter looking for a good butterscotch pie, here is one I?ve made before.

Butterscotch Pie

1/2 c. butter or Oleo
1 c. water
2 egg yolks
1 c. brown sugar
2 1/2 tbsp. Cornstarch
1 1/2 c. milk

Brown butter in pan. Then add sugar and cook together, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted. Add water; stir slowly and cook until sugar is again dissolved. Combine cornstarch, egg yolks and milk, and add to sugar mixture. Cook until thickened. Pour in baked pie shell and top with cream.
