Butterscotch Puddingitems you need : 2 1/4 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk 1 cup heavy cream 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed 3 egg yolks 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Cooking Recipe: In a large saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the buutter over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, to caramelize the mixture. You'll smell a characteristic nutty-caramel odor when the butter browns, signaling that the mixture is ready. Whisking constantly, gradually add the butter/brown sugar mixture to the hot milk/cream mixture. If the mixture isn't smooth, blend for 20 seconds with a hand blender or pour through a fine sieve. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. Whisk in the cornstarch and salt until dissolved. whisk (beat lightly with a whisking utensil or a fork over the top of the mix or batter) the cornstarch mixture back into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk (beat lightly with a whisking utensil called a whisk, often springy looking) will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into 6 to 8 custard cups, ramekins, or mugs and chill, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.
