Ingredients

2 cups milk
1 cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken, about 20 minutes.
