butterscotch pie

When I was young, my mother owned a restaurant and this was one of the delicious pies that we served.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

One bite of this butterscotch pie, and we could see why Karen’s mom served it at her restaurant. It’s creamy and smooth with a slight butterscotch flavor. The filling isn’t too sweet which we enjoyed. The meringue on top adds a nice airy texture to each bite. If you want more butterscotch flavor, drizzle a little bit of butterscotch on top when serving.
