Ingredients

2 cups milk
1 cup packed light brown sugar
0.25 cup cornstarch
0.5 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked

Instructions

Gather all your ingredients and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to get started.
In a double boiler over simmering water, combine milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, approximately 20 minutes.
Whisk in the egg yolks, continuing to cook and stir until the filling reaches a thickened consistency. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
Pour the butterscotch filling evenly into the prepared baked pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the pie begins to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
