How to Make Butterscotch Pie

To start, combine the milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt into a large saucepan and stir until it darkens. Reduce the heat and whisk in the egg yolks to thicken. After, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the pre-baked pie shell. Then cover in plastic wrap and let it cool while you make the meringue. For the meringue, add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on high until stiff peaks form. Slowly stream in the sugar and whip. Remove the plastic wrap from the pie. Spread the meringue over the pie and bake until the top is golden brown.
