Butterscotch Pie Recipe
FAQ
Old fashioned Butterscotch Pie is made with a rich butterscotch custard in a pre-baked pie crust topped with sweetened whipped cream and chopped roasted cashews. This may not be a pumpkin dessert, but it almost looks like one. I think this pie looks like caramel, after all it is a very close cousin.
Why won't my butterscotch sauce thicken? Once your sauce comes to a bubbling simmer let it cook for 3 full minutes without touching it. If you don't cook the sauce enough it won't thicken. If you cook it for too long, or at a full boil, then it will thicken too much and be more like butterscotch candy.

England. Butterscotch is claimed to have been first named in 1817 in Doncaster, England by Samuel Parkinson. He had begun making the candy earlier under the name of buttery brittle toffee. The company that produced the candy received the Royal Seal of Approval for their highly demanded export.
