MICROWAVE BUTTERSCOTCH PIE 
1 c. dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg yolks
Vanilla, scant tsp.
Baked pie shell
1/3 c. cornstarch
2 c. milk, scalded (about 4 minutes)
3 tbsp. butter

Combine sugar and cornstarch in 1 quart cooking bowl. Slowly stir in scalded milk. Cook on full power 3-4 minutes until thick. Stir twice during this time. Mix part of hot pudding mix into slightly beaten egg yolks. Return all to hot mixture. Cook in oven on level 6 (little over 1/2 power) for 4-5 minutes, just until it start to boil. Stir once during this time. Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into bake pie shell. Makes a large pie. Top with meringue.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
