I've made this twice already and okay, so I cheated a little I bought a sweet pastry case from the supermarkert and made half the volume of the butterscotch and it was sublime - one tip is to sift the flour into the pan a little at a time and stir well before adding more flour. - 01 Jun 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Altered ingredient amounts. I used pre-bought pastry case. The mixture definately would fill two of these! - 22 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Altered ingredient amounts. I used two medium eggs instead of one large egg, this made the tart sweeter - Verry yummy when finished! - 22 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
