By Request: Butternut Pie

A few of you have been interested in the Butternut Pie that I shared at last weekends Pi Day Party. Butternut pie is similar to pumpkin pie in texture and is one of my favorites to make and eat! So, by request I give you the recipe for Butternut Pie (I found it at http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1950,156185-238194,00.html)

1/4 c. melted butter

1 c. brown sugar

1 1/2 c. mashed butternut squash

2 eggs

1/2 c. milk

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 unbaked pie shell

1. Prepare the butternut squash by peeling the skin, scooping out the seeds and cubing the squash. The seeds may be roasted like pumpkin seeds if you wish. Boil the squash cubes until you are able to mash them with a fork.

2. Beat the squash until it is smooth.

3. Add melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, milk, salt and vanilla and beat with a mixer.

4. Pour the filling into an unbaked pie shell.

5. Bake at 300 F for 35 to 40 minutes.
