 Butterscotch Pudding For One

• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch • 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/8 teaspoon salt • 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup whole milk • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg yolk • whipped cream , optional
• 1 tablespoon butter

1 Whisk the cornstarch with the salt in a small bowl. Slowly

add the milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Make
sure there are no lumps.
2 Whisk in the egg yolk and set the bowl aside.
3 Melt the butter in a deep saucepan set over medium-high
heat. When the butter has melted, whisk in the brown sugar.
4 The brown sugar will look grainy at first, but whisk vigorously
until the brown sugar completely melts and becomes a liquid.
5 Remove the pan from the heat.
6 Slowly whisk in the cream. (The sugar and cream will steam
but continue to whisk. The sugar will clump together, this is
normal). Return the pan to the stove, reduce the heat to low
and continue to whisk until the sugar has melted and is
smooth.
7 Very slowly add most of the hot butterscotch liquid to the
bowl with the cornstarch and milk and whisk. (You want to
add the hot butterscotch slowly because you don't want the
heat from the butterscotch to "cook" the eggs.)
8 Return the tempered cornstarch slurry to the pan and cook.
Raise the heat to medium-high and whisk vigorously until it
comes to a boil.
9 Continue whisking and cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla.
