Butterscotch Pie

I'm not sure what the theme is this week, but I saw Paula Deen make this and I just had to try it. The only difference is you need to let it boil so that it will thicken. I had to add a little more flour and corn starch for it to thicken, but try boiling it first before you add more flour. Anyway, it is DELICIOUS!!
