Tasted great. Made it for mother in law for her birthday (her fav). Never had it before, or even had seen one, but made it no problem. The only issue I had was I dont have an 'offical double boiler' I just use a pot of boiling waer with a glass pyrex bowl on top (have used this method for dozens of other double boiler instructions and had no problems). We after stirring forever, I couldnt get it to thicken even before I added my egg. I took it off the double boiler and poured it all in a pot and put it right on the burner. It thickened almost instantly, almost too quick had I not been right there. It turned out perfect. I just couldnt see it even getting hot enough the thicken with the double bolier. TASTED GREAT! Moter in laws eyes bugged out of her head she was so excited!

This turned out perfect. I made this for a friend and he said it was the best pie he'd ever had. I didn't do the double boiler and had to turn the heat up quite a bit to get it to thicken, other than that no problem. I am making two more of these tonight. Thanks for a great recipe.

It was a decent recipe... but it wouldn't set in a double boiler so I switched to just using a pot and whisking constantly, and then I added more corn starch. Once it set, it ran. I tried again, to see if it was just something I had done, and this time I stuck with the double boiler even though it took forever, and it ended up running then too. The taste is fantastic, but I think I'm going to stick to my old butterscotch pie recipe

This is a great recipe because every ingredient should already be in the pantry. Only 4 stars because it was too sweet for me. Next time, I'll follow others' advice and cut the brown sugar to 3/4 cup, and maybe even 1/2 cup. My picky husband really liked it. I wasn't sure how thick the filling should be. I cooked it until it was like yogurt, but should have cooked it a little longer. It set up ok, but I would like it more firm. It also wasn't as dark as the picture, so probably the longer in the pot the better.

Perfect consistency, VERY rich..almost too rich and I have a real sweet tooth. Best with meringue topping. Not quite the perfect butterscotch pie recipe. Think I will look for another.

This turned out perfect. And was very good. We didn't have any whipped cream so I served it with a light dusting of nutmeg.

This was only ok for me. I'm an experienced cook and I've rarely had problems with puddings setting - this did not set well, was "watery". Son said it tasted good, but I would not make it again because leftovers would be soggy the next day and we can't eat a whole pie in one sitting! I've made other butterscotch pies that turned out much better than this one.

Yea!! My Grandma used to make a butterscotch pie that my dad and grandpa loved, but unfortunately, she wasn't really a recipe sharer. So this is my third try with so so reviews on 2 other recipes...they said it was perfect. People raved about it.

I really liked this recipe. To make it even better I put whipped cream on top and then crushed a butterfinger candy bar to put on top of that. It gave it a little bit of texture and made it even more beautiful.

It did have a good flavor and consistancy if it just hadn't been so sweet! None of us could finish our piece and I ended up throwing the rest away. I think 2/3 cup sugar or 3/4 cup if you like a sweet pie would be enough.

I've been spreading the word about this recipe! If you don't have a double boiler, don't worry. It will still work just fine (I used medium heat and stirred constantly!) Tastes great with whipped cream on top.
