Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by making the butterscotch filling. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s melted, stir in the brown sugar and continue mixing until it’s all combined and bubbly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and milk, then slowly add this mixture to the bubbling sugar and butter. Whisk continuously for about five minutes until it thickens nicely and coats the back of a spoon. This is where the sweet, buttery aroma fills your kitchen—it’s heavenly!
