I was craving butterscotch pudding, but hadn't realized how easy it was to make. You can eat this at any temperature, but since we live in a hot climate we chose to wait until it was chilled.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

In a heavy bottomed pan whisk together the dark brown sugar, cornstarch and salt.

Pour the pudding through a fine sieve to remove any lumps. Don't forget to lick the spoon ;)
