BUTTERSCOTCH PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Gently warm the corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter together in a saucepan until the butter melts.
• Turn off the heat and add the butterscotch chips.
• Scatter them around rather than dumping them in one spot; set the pan aside for 5 minutes, shaking it once or twice to move hot liquid over the chips.
• After 5 minutes, add the salt and whisk to smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together just until frothy.
• Whisk in the vanilla; whisk a little less than half of the hot liquid into the eggs until smooth.
• Add the rest of the hot liquid and whisk until smooth.
• Add in the pecans and stir well; turn the filling into the cooled pie shell.
• Using a fork, gently rake the filling to distribute the pecans evenly.
• Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake until the perimeter of the filling has puffed up and perhaps cracked slightly, 40-50 minutes.
• Rotate the pie 180° halfway through the baking, sot that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces forward.
• When done, the center may wobble a little, but it shouldn't seem soupy.
• Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature; or let cool thoroughly; cover with loosely tented foil; refrigerate for several hours before serving.
