Homemade Butterscotch Pudding Recipe
Rich and creamy homemade butterscotch pudding.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar light or dark
- ¼ cup corn starch
- ½ tsp salt use 1/4 tsp if you like things less salty
- 2 ⅓ cups 2% milk or whole milk
- 3 Tbsp salted butter
- 2 large eggs or 3 egg yolks
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in large heavy saucepan.
- Whisk in about 1/3 cup of the milk. Add the eggs and whisk vigorously until very smooth. Add the rest of the milk.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
- Add the butter and vanilla; stir until melted. Pour the hot pudding through a fine-meshed sieve to remove any small lumps.
- Divide into 6 serving dishes.
- Serve warm or cold with a small scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- This pudding is quite sweet, so you can use less sugar if you prefer.
- If you use unsalted butter, you will need the full 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Optional - To prevent the pudding skin that forms as the pudding cools, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding.
