Well here is the James Beard recipe for Butterscotch Pie. It is absolutely great. One of his finest moments, of which there are many. I would recommend making this to anyone. Also, reading his cookbook "American Cookery" like a novel is a good idea. It tells stories of frontier women inventing three bean salad or why eating things fried in butter is so good. (This was before he started making health-aware recipes.) This book was our family bible growing up.
