BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Butterscotch Pudding found at Framed Cooks I am really not a butterscotch fan, actually kinda repulses me, but I love making homemade pudding and I have people in the house that like butterscotch so I  made this recipe I found at Framed Cooks. I ate some and I have to say it was  excellent I loved it, not as much as chocolate pudding, but hey we can't all be  as yummy as chocolate. 6 ounces butter 2 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed 2 1/2 cups half and half (I substituted evaporated milk) 10 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 cups milk or half and half 6 egg yolks 1 tablespoon vanilla Combine butter and brown sugar in saucepan over low heat. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring.  Add half and half, stirring until smooth. Combine cornstarch and salt in bowl. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk or half and half  until cornstarch dissolves. Add to saucepan with remaining 3 cups milk or half and half.  Bring to boil over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Boil gently  2 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat. Slowly whisk  in egg yolks, stirring until smooth. Add vanilla. Return saucepan to heat and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Strain and pour into  12 custard cups. Serve warm or cold. Makes 12 servings. Original source: Wolfgang Puck via the LA Times I do not have half and half on hand usually so I substituted evaporated milk for half and half. Oh and those 6 egg whites, I saved them (divided in half) and made the Chocolate Cloud cookies.
