  • 5. Pour evenly into pre-baked pie shell. Set on cooling rack while you prepare the meringue topping.
  • 6. FOR THE MERINGUE TOPPING: Moisten corn starch with a small amount of cold water in a medium saucepan. Not too runny, but there should be no dry corn starch.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or 1 cup pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1 (9 inch) pastry shells, unbaked

Tips:

  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. This will help to keep the dough flaky.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan. Just trim the excess dough around the edges.
  • To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, brush it with a beaten egg white before filling it.
  • Be sure to chill the pie crust before baking it. This will help to prevent it from shrinking.
  • If you're using a filling that is very juicy, pre-bake the pie crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
  • Don't overfill the pie. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edge of the crust.
  • To prevent the pie from bubbling over, cut a few slits in the top crust before baking.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.
