Butterscotch Pie ~ My Grandma's Recipe and my Grandpa's Favorite Butterscotch Pie ~ My Grandma's Recipe and my Grandpa's Favorite Butterscotch Pie ~ My Grandma's Recipe and my Grandpa's Favorite Butterscotch Pie ~ My Grandma's Recipe and my Grandpa's Favorite Butterscotch Pie ~ My Grandma's Recipe and my Grandpa's Favorite

 

This recipe was from my Grandma. It was one of my Grandpa’s favorites. It is simple and very yummy!

The recipe is handwritten on a recipe card for me from my Grandma. One of my cousin’s made a recipe book for me when I was getting married and asked friends and family to send recipes for it. This was one that my Grandma contributed to my book.

I love her handwritten note on the back ~

“I put the whole eggs in as Grandpa doesn’t care for meringue. The egg whites are for meringue on top. Do to suit your man.”

“What good advice!” I thought to myself as I read it recently. Not only was she sharing a favorite recipe with me, but also effortlessly and unknowingly passing down wisdom on caring for “your man”.

It’s so sweet and I love seeing it in her words and handwriting.

I’ve had the recipe pulled out and piled in among my papers and planner for a while. I thought of it towards late summer and it sounded good. I hadn’t made it for a long time.

It was fun to make and eat again!

  1. I’m going to have to try this soon, I love butterscotch! Love the handwritten note from your grandma too! <3

    1. If you like the texture of cream pies, you will like this. It is creamy and sweet. But, brown sugar and butter, can you really go wrong?! 🙂

      It is not a deep dish pie by any means. I have some recipes that really need a deep pie dish, but this one doesn’t.

  2. Tears in my eyes from reading the note Grandma wrote for you. So sweet! How the years do fly!

    1. Don’t they though!

      I loved seeing her handwriting when I pulled the recipe out. And so love her reference to “your man”.

  3. I LOVE this pie – and Grandma wrote that same note or something close on the recipe when she gave it to me 🙂 A goodly heritage we have 🙂

  6. I LOVE grandma recipes! My cousins and I started a page just to try to track down her recipes from whereever we could find them and whomeever we could find them! This looks so scrumptious and timeless! Thanks for sharing on the PiDay Pie Party
