Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
- In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture while whisking continuously.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Divide the pudding into individual serving dishes and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours until set.
- Serve the butterscotch pudding chilled, garnished with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra touch of flavor.
