Grandma Fern Miller Strong's Butterscotch Pie

 Grandma Diane Strong made pie for dessert almost every Sunday. I believe it was a tradition started by Allan's grandmother, Fern Miller Strong. When Grandma (Diane) Strong got older she started making cake instead of pie, most weeks. She used Fern Strong's recipes when she made pies.

GRANDMA FERN MILLER STRONG’S BUTTERSCOTCH PIE

1⁄4 Cup Butter

1 Cup Brown Sugar 1 Cup Water

1 Cup Milk

2 Eggs

3 Tbsp Flour

1 1⁄2 Tbsp Cornstarch

1 tsp Vanilla

1 Prepared Pie Crust, Cooked

In a heavy saucepan, melt the Butter over medium heat. Add the Brown Sugar and Water. While that is cooking mix together the Milk, Eggs, Flour, and Cornstarch. Stir it into the Butter mixture and cook on medium high until it comes to a boil, is smooth, and thick. Stir constantly. Remove it from the heat and add the Vanilla.

Pour it into the pie crust and let it cool on the counter top. Refrigerate it overnight or 2-3 hours before serving. Top with Whipped cream.
