Burnt Sugar Pie

[MagickMuffin]

My mom used to make a "Butterscotch" Pie that she did like this, but not exactly sure this is the same recipe. Unfortunately, I don't own a iron skillet :( so I can't try it.

2 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. butter
3 egg yolks

Using an iron skillet, brown one cup of the sugar to a dark brown syrup (watch carefully). Sift sugar, flour and salt; add milk gradually. Add this mixture to syrup. Stir and cook until thickened. Add small amount of hot mixture into beaten egg yolks, stir, then add yolks to sugar mixture and continue cooking and stirring another 2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla and blend. Pour into baked 9“ pie crust.

Beat the three egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar added a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread on pie and brown in 350 degree oven about 10 minutes. Whipped topping may be used instead of meringue.

1. burnt sugar is a different flavor than butterscotch

I'm not sure you're going to be happy with it.

Fortunately, you can make a butterscotch pie without a cast iron skillet! The filling is made in the same way you would make a pudding. Stove top. There oughta be a zillion recipes on the Internet.

2. Bet you could use brown sugar instead of the burnt sugar

and ignore the cast iron skillet part.
