Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by prepping my pre-baked pie crust. You can make your own from scratch, but I usually opt for a store-bought one to save time. After placing the crust in my pie plate, I grab a large mixing bowl and beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. The smell of that buttery mixture is simply heavenly. Next, I mix in the vanilla extract, and then I slowly incorporate the flour and sweetened condensed milk, blending it until everything is well combined. The texture is so creamy and inviting!
