Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 and ½ cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 9-inch Pie crust (I used a store bought crust)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Carefully roll out pie crust and fit in pie pan.
  • Place pie pan on a cookie sheet in case it boils over.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour and whisk until smooth.
  • Gradually add milk, whisking constantly.
  • Cook until mixture thickens and just begins to boil.
  • Remove from heat and add brown sugar.
  • Whisk until dissolved.
  • In a small bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in vanilla.
  • Temper eggs with hot milk mixture. (Temper means to add a small amount of the hot liquid, milk, to the cold ingredient, eggs, a little at a time. This gradually brings the temperature of the eggs up and prevents them from scrambling.)
  • Add tempered eggs to milk mixture and whisk.
  • Pour into unbaked pie crust.
  • Bake at 350° F for 50 to55 minutes or until firm on the outside of the pie and slightly 'jiggly' on in the center.
