Steps:

• In a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, add butter and sugar. When butter is melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Bring to a foamy boil, and cook 4 minutes, whisking occasionally, until mixture deepens in color.

• Chop walnuts and toast golden. Cool walnuts. In a bowl toss together bread, half of walnuts, and butterscotch chips and transfer to pie plate. In a saucepan heat 1 cup milk until it just begins to boil and remove pan from heat. Add espresso or coffee granules, stirring until dissolved, and stir in remaining cup milk.

• Heat over medium heat until all the butter has melted and the sugar is dissolved.
• Remove the lid and cook the mixture together until it reaches 300-310F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Carefully pour about half the simple syrup into the butterscotch, stirring well. Mixture will bubble up a Very Lot, and the butterscotch may harden.
• Once the bubbling has calmed down, add the rest of the simple syrup and whisk over low heat until the butterscotch is completely melted.

BUTTERSCOTCH COFFEE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• While the oven preheats, put your pie shell in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
• FILLING:.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter on high speed, gradually adding the sugars. Beat in the coffee.
• The mixture will remain coarse and clumpy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Blend in the vanilla.
• Add the flour and salt and blend the filling until evenly mixed.
• Blend in the milk, then stir in the butterscotch chips and nuts.
• Scrape the filling into the chilled pie shell, smoothing with a spoon.
• Bake the pie on the middle oven rack until the center is set, about 50 minutes, turning the pie 180 degrees about midway through the baking.
• When done, the top of the pie will turn dark golden brown.
• That's fine, and it does not mean it has over-baked.
• Give the pie a slight nudge to check for doneness: the filling should not move in waves, but it may jiggle near the center.
• Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and cool.
• The pie can be eaten slightly warm or at room temperature or it can be chilled for 1 to 2 hours before serving, though it is best not to serve it cold or the butterscotch chips will be hard.
