All About Pie

Do you have an old fashioned Butterscotch Pie recipe?

My mom has been looking for years for a Butterscotch Pie recipe like her mother used to make. It starts with white sugar and you cook it in a skillet until the sugar turns brown. Anyone have something similar?

2. Try this one. It uses white sugar that you brown in a heavy saucepan.
