Ingredients
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
Whipped cream or meringue for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the light brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Make sure the mixture is free of lumps for a smooth filling.
Add Milk and Cook:
Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is well combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
Step 2: Temper the Egg Yolks
Beat the Egg Yolks:
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.
Temper the Yolks:
To avoid scrambling the eggs, slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks while whisking constantly. Once combined, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the hot milk mixture.
Cook Until Thickened:
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes thick and pudding-like. This should take another 2-3 minutes.
