My pie turned out well overall, with a few minor issues. First, the sugar became a thick mass & separated from the butter. I added it to the milk before smelling the caramel odor, b/c I was afraid it would burn. I also felt that the pie was too sweet with 1¼ c. of sugar, and the filling turned out grainy. Other reviewers mentioned weeping. I have had this problem in the past, but avoided it this time with these steps: Add 4 egg whites & 4 tbsp. superfine sugar to a clean glass bowl. Warm over a pan of simmering H₂0 & dissolve sugar. Beat until foamy & add cream of tartar. Near the end of beating, add a mixture of 1 tbsp. of cornstarch in ⅓ c. H₂0. Finish beating into stiff peaks. The uncooked meringue will taste starchy, but the finished product will not. Pour the hot filling into the crust & top immediately with meringue, spreading it over the edge of the crust to prevent separation. The meringue may end up with some sweat droplets, but no liquid between the meringue and the filling.

I have the same problem as mltread1_13095889 with liquid weeping from the sides (my meringue does not weep. I am wondering if she has found an answer to our problem. I'd be so grateful to know how to remedy this. Otherwise, my Butterscotch Pie is wonderful.

This pie is my Mother's favorite pie every since I was a little girl. She said she just loves it and that I make it just like her Mother use to make it. Other people that I have given this pie to say that they love it. So I know that it is a good pie.

The only problem I have with this pie is that it weeps so much. I have tried everything to stop it from weeping but each time I make it, I have the same problem. I personally don't eat the pie, however before I get to give it away, it has liquid leaking from the sides. Then it ends up that the crust becomes soggy and it is watery at the bottom of the pie pan. Please help me with this situation if you know the secret to fixing it.

I made this recipe for some friends of mine because butterscotch is the only kind of pie they like. The filling is so creamy and delicious. Add the meringue topping and you have one really, really rich pie. It's a new favorite with my friends...and me too!!

This recipe caught my attention for two reasons. First that it was a butterscotch recipe (which is my absolute favorite flavor in the whole world and second, because it was made by Aunt Jimmy. When I tried it the texture was like sweet creamy smooth butter melting in my mouth. This is an excellent recipe. And guess what? My name happens to be JimmIE. A wonderful
recipe.
