Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a pie dish and prick holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in sugar and flour until combined.
- Gradually whisk in the milk while stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before adding egg yolks.
- Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Pour the butterscotch filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for another 25-30 minutes until set; it should jiggle slightly when done.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
