Butterscotch Pudding

🍰 Desserts

Brown sugar caramelised into butterscotch custard, the forgotten retro star. Cool and creamy, the kind of dessert that calms a big meal down. Lovely with a few berries or a thin biscuit on the side.

Prep 18 min Cook 13 min Serves 5 Easy

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk2 cups
  • Sugar1/3 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.

  2. 2

    Scald the milk with the butter — small bubbles at the edge, never a rolling boil.

  3. 3

    Combine the brown sugar with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.

  4. 4

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

  5. 5

    Pour into dishes, chill at least four hours, and serve cold with heavy cream on top.

Chef's tip

Ovens lie — an inexpensive thermometer is the cheapest upgrade to your baking.
