Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons bourbon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons corn
- starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
Instructions
- Melt the brown sugar with water and salt over medium-low flame. The water aids sugar to melt uniformly. Cook until bubbling, and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until darker brown. Be attentive and make sure it does not burn. Don’t mix easy butterscotch pudding recipe with whole eggs custard while cooking; you can twirl the pan around a bit to dispense the warmth if required.
- Permit the dissolved brown sugar to cool for some time. In the meantime, melt the cornstarch in some milk, and mix until it becomes extremely smooth. Add egg yolks, and mix until it becomes smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the remaining milk and cream, and mix for some time to integrate everything.
- Add the milk and cream slurry to the moderately cooled brown sugar and whisk properly. The brown sugar will seize up and become solid. Don’t worry at this point because everything will dissolve once you put the pan back on the stove.
- Put the pan over the stove, gently bring the whole mix to a boil over medium-low heat, and make sure to whisk continuously. Once all the blend has dissolved and is starting to thicken, take a silicone spatula to scrape the pan’s sides and bottom as it solidifies.
- Once the butterscotch chip pudding comes to a boil, remove it from the stove and pour it through a fine-mesh strainer.
- Combine vanilla extract and butter, and mix energetically to incorporate.
- Pour the old fashioned butterscotch pudding recipe into serving glasses or bowls, and top with whipped cream and toffee bits.
- Serve warm, or let best butterscotch pudding recipe ever set completely in the refrigerator. It will be wholly set in a few hours. You can store the old fashioned pudding recipe leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
