Notes
Crust Tip: Use cold butter for a flaky shortbread base.
Baking: Oven preheated, middle rack. Watch for a light golden hue.
Check: Filling should jiggle slightly; it sets as it cools.
Substitutes: Chocolate chips or walnuts can replace butterscotch chips and pecans.
Storage: Cool completely, then store with parchment layers: At room temp for three days, in the fridge for one week, and in the freezer for three months.
Cutting: For clean slices, use a hot, dry knife.
Make-Ahead: Prep 1-2 days in advance for ease.
