Butterscotch Pie

Although not much is known about the origin of this classic pie, it is typically associated with Midwestern and Southern American states. The pie is assembled with a pre-baked pastry shell that is filled with a butterscotch base—usually prepared with a combination of caramelized sugar, butter, milk, and eggs.

Butterscotch pie can be served plain, but it is also commonly topped with whipped cream or lightly browned meringue.
