Description
This creamy homemade butterscotch pudding comes together in one pot and has a perfectly smooth, silky texture. It owes its unparalleled creaminess to a technique we borrowed from cookbook author Claire Saffitz; her pastry cream recipe inspired us to vigorously whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks before cooking the custard. In this pudding, a combination of milk and cream adds a luxurious richness, while a splash of Scotch (optional but highly recommended) deepens the flavor. Butterscotch pudding is best served with whipped cream; Mason jar whipped cream is especially easy.
