Directions:In a pan, mix sugar, flour and salt on medium heat. Pour in milk and stir with wisk until hot.
Slightly beat egg yolks (save egg whites for meringue). Take a couple of tablespoons of the hot mixture to the egg yolks to temper them. Then add the egg yolks to the sugar mixture. Once it starts to make a plopping sound, add vanilla and butter. Thicken, then pour into already baked (and cooled) pie crust. Chill and serve.
For Butterscotch Pie:
Substitute brown sugar for white sugar
