Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups Low-fat milk
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add 2 cups of the low-fat milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Slowly add about half a cup of the hot butterscotch mixture to the egg yolks while whisking, to temper the eggs.

Step 5

Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking quickly to combine.

Step 6

Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens further and coats the back of a spoon, about 2-3 more minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 9

Cover the puddings with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 10

Chill the puddings in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
