Butterscotch pie

[ctcgirl]

Does anyone here have a good recipe for Butterscotch Pie
I need it for next weekend. To be on the good side of my dad I need to supply him with a butterscotch pie... You see we are going to talk about his will next weekend and I am in competition with my 2 sisters in which he dearly loves.
So I have to work at it a little harder to be in the money...So I thought what a better way to say how much I love this man but to feed him butterscotch pie..
I will be so in the money with this....I can taste it..a pun there
(p.s. this is all in good humor please don't take offense to it.)

It's nice to see you poking fun :) I've never heard of butterscotch pie, I'll be watching to see what goes in it :ygu:

[Lesley]

Give me an idea of what it's like, texture, taste, and I'll see what I can find. All that comes to mind is a pudding based pie but I don't think that's what you're after

[Tess]

It seems there are hundreds of variations. I've never had or made it..my luck first time I did it would be a disaster and I'd be left out of the will. ;) Or I'd poison someone lol

Tess that sounds great.
My SIL tells me that she buys the pudding that you have to cook and puts bannana's in the bottom and pours the pudding over top and than top with bannana's and whip cream so maybe I will try that way.

I think I will be trying that one.

That sounds really good too, and a lot easier. The frozen pie shells make everything much easier too.

Are you making a trial one first?

Let us know how it turns out. :)

If a trial is in the cards, I will offer my services. :)

Did you put whipped cream all over the top?...That would have cut everybody else outta the will for certian.:bll: I want some NOW :nne:

[Bogie]

Whip Cream!
I forgot about Whipped Cream!

Holy Cholesterol count, Batman!

Haven't had Butterscotch pie in soooo long ....

[ctcgirl]

now way for the whipped cream I made the real thing Meringue
that is what put it over the top.lol.

Actually he was so gratefull that he gave me the pictures and the baseball that I have been asking him for
The pictures and Baseballs are from the Great LOU JOHNSON (baseball team) he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs before going to Sarycuse... and eventually ended up playing with the LA Dodgers.
He was a very close friend to us I called Uncle Lou and we used to have so much fun....
so I finally got to have all his pictures and balls that has been signed by a lot of old time people.

Great...glad the meringue worked...I vaguely remember Lou Johnson, but I have always been a American League fan and he spent most of his career in the "hated" National League.
