# Composition:

→ Butterscotch Filling

01 - 115 g unsalted butter
02 - 200 g packed brown sugar
03 - 3 large egg yolks
04 - 30 g cornstarch
05 - 480 ml whole milk
06 - 1.25 ml salt
07 - 5 ml vanilla extract

→ Assembly and Garnish

08 - 1 pre-baked 23 cm pie crust
09 - Whipped cream, for topping
10 - 60 g chopped pecans

# Étapes de réalisation:

01 - Pre-bake a 23 cm pie crust using your preferred method until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
02 - Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir continuously for 2 minutes until fully dissolved and smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk cornstarch, salt, and whole milk until smooth and lump-free. Gradually whisk this mixture into the saucepan with the melted sugar.
04 - Beat egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly add a small amount of the hot mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly. Return the tempered yolks to the saucepan and mix thoroughly.
05 - Cook the filling mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the custard thickens to a pudding-like consistency, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
06 - Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
07 - Pour the warm butterscotch filling into the cooled pie crust. Use a spatula to level the surface.
08 - Cover the surface of the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the filling is set.
09 - Before serving, adorn the chilled pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Slice and serve cold.
