For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the butterscotch custard. Ensure the pie crust is fully cooled before adding the custard to prevent it from becoming soggy. When making the meringue, ensure the bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease for optimal volume. Watch the meringue carefully while baking to prevent burning. If it starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil. Best served warm, within a few hours of baking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, but the meringue may soften.
