I'd like a recipe for butterscotch pie with a light consistency. Thank you.

Vanessa Lattin of Tarpon Springs shares a recipe from the Nestle website for butterscotch pecan pie. She tweaked it a bit but it's creamy and full of great texture. The pecans magically float to the top while baking. Use the pie crust frozen, no need to thaw it. Pull it out of the freezer when you are ready to fill it. You do need to plan ahead because this pie needs to cool 2 hours with an additional hour in the fridge before serving. I actually made this the day before I served it and it was great. I'm not fond of melting chips of any sort in the microwave but these turned out perfectly. I used name-brand chips rather than the store brand. My experience is that store-brand chips don't melt as well. This recipe comes together quickly but I did bake it the full amount of time. The center was not set at 40 minutes and needed the additional 5 minutes. Check yours at 40 then decide. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. This would be a nice choice as an additional dessert for the holidays.

Charlie Peters of Seminole loved the buttermilk-based house salad dressing at Ya-Ya's Chicken. None of the commercially available buttermilk dressings come close, so if you have a copycat recipe, please share it.
Linda Lippman-Lockhart of St. Petersburg has lost her favorite peach cobbler recipe that was on a TimeLife recipe card back in the '80s. She has searched the Internet to no avail.
