ingredients
1 pastry for single crust pie (deep dish if using store bought)
4 eggs
1 can (18 ounce size) evaporated milk
1 cup packed brown sugar
whipped cream, optional
directions
Prepare pie crust in 9" pie plate. Do not prick pie crust. Bake at 450 degrees F for 5 minutes. Cool.
Beat eggs slightly. Stir in milk and sugar, mixing thoroughly to dissolve sugar. Place pie shell on oven rack (use a cookie sheet to catch spills). Pour mixture into pie shell.
To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie shell with foil. Bake in 350 degrees F oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 20-25 minutes until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool thoroughly on rack.
Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Cover and chill to store.
cook's notes
the surface of this pie will typically appear mottled and bubbly. Not the prettiest pie, but tasty!

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This recipe is good if you modify the method. Beat the eggs in a bowl. In a saucepan, heat the milk and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add some of the heated mixture slowly to the eggs while whisking, then combine the rest of the milk mixture to the eggs and mix well. Pour into the shell and bake as directed. That gives it a better texture and brings out more of the butterscotch flavor.

My family & I did not care for this pie at all. We really enjoy both custard & butterscotch, but this recipe wasn't reminscent of either one, as the brown sugar skewed the flavor to be something else altogether and lacked body. Not to our tastes, & as an avid baker, I'm not sure what could be done to improve upon the recipe other than sticking to traditional custard pie.
