When I first saw this recipe, all I could think of was butterscotch flavor. This definitely is NOT butterscotch. It IS CARAMEL! Sweet, sweet, caramel! I would definitely suggest a small piece and wash it down with a great cup of coffee.
Burnt Caramel Pie
Mix together until smooth:
3 egg yolks
1 Tb flour (I would recommend a little more)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter (softened)
1 cup milk
In a heavy skillet, brown 1/2 cup sugar (med-high heat). This will take around 15 minutes (stirring). Keep stirring. Lower heat and gradually pour mixture into browned sugar. Stir vigorously and constantly until all browned sugar is dissolved. This will take another 15 minutes or so. Cook until thickened. Pour into 8-inch baked crust. Allow to cool before serving.
Recipe from: Flatwoods Baptist Church, Mountain View, Arkansas, cookbook
Notes: When you add the mixture, the browned sugar will become very hard. You will think this hardened sugar won't melt again, but it will. Patience and muscles, my friend.
I like to top it with a homemade whipped topping. To make the topping, whip (electric mixer with whipping attachment works best) 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1/8 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
