How to Make Canadian Butterscotch Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks.
  4. Gradually whisk the egg yolks into the milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the butterscotch filling into your pre-baked pie crust.
  7. Let cool completely at room temperature before chilling for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
