I recently made mini butterscotch pies for my dad's birthday, since that's a favorite flavor of his. I used Keebler mini graham cracker crusts and the following filling:
Butterscotch Pie
2 T butter
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
1.5 T flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 T cornstartch
1 tsp. vanilla
Melt butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar and combine well. In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix together egg yolk, flour, milk, salt and cornstarch. Slowly add this mixture to the hot butter/brown sugar. Stir continuously over medium heat until butterscotch filling becomes thick. When you remove the pan from the fire, stir in the vanilla. Spoon contents into four or five mini graham cracker pie shells. Refrigerate; garnish with whipped cream. Obviously, you could double the recipe to make one pie, rather than minis.

If you like butterscotch, I think you will enjoy this recipe.
Sweet dreams!
