Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING POTS
4 cups half-and-half
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
1/2 stick salted butter
1 cup dark-brown sugar
CASHEW BRITTLE
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Whisk the first four ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, and cook, stirring, until the sugar has melted into the butter.
  • Whisk in the half-and-half mixture, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes. Strain the pudding into a large measuring cup, and then divide evenly into eight 4-ounce ramekins. Let cool, then chill in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
  • Serve with Gina's favorite cashew brittle (recipe follows).
  • CASHEW BRITTLE
  • Line a nonstick sheet pan with parchment or a silicone mat, and set aside.
  • Heat the corn syrup, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Cook until the temperature reaches 310 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Once the mixture reaches 310 degrees F, remove from the stove; quickly add the baking soda, cashews, and butter, and keep stirring constantly. The mixture will stay opaque.
  • Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the mat-or parchment-covered sheet pan, and spread across the pan with wooden spoon. Cool for 1 1/2 hours. Break into 2-inch pieces.
  • NOTE
  • A silicone mat works best to avoid a sticky clean-up; do not use waxed paper, which will melt and stick under the heat of the candy.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING



Old-Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding image

This creamy pudding, thickened with cornstarch and egg yolks and stirred together on the stove, is as homey as it gets. Spiking the mixture with a little bourbon or Scotch isn't strictly traditional, but it does add a pop of flavor. Choose bourbon to underscore the caramelized notes of the brown sugar, or Scotch for a savory smokiness and a nod to the name. Here's a tip: Make sure to bring the pudding to a full, vigorous boil to activate the cornstarch. Otherwise, it may not set. If you've ever ended up with thin, runny pudding, undercooking may have been the issue.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 packed cup/165 grams dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups/480 milliliters whole milk
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon or Scotch whisky (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Whipped cream, sour cream or crème fraîche, for serving
Chopped candied ginger, sliced almonds, Demerara sugar, shaved chocolate, cocoa nibs or flaky sea salt (or a combination), for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Put egg yolks, cornstarch and salt into a large heatproof bowl, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
  • In a medium pot over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter, whisking, until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like hot caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away, or the mixture may burn.)
  • Immediately pour the milk and cream into the pot. (It will bubble fiercely and seize up.) Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the clumps melt, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking yolks until smooth, then whisk in the remaining hot cream mixture. Pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan and place it over medium heat.
  • Cook pudding, whisking constantly especially around the bottom and edges of the pot, until it comes to a full boil. (Don't worry about the eggs curdling. You're going to strain the mixture later.) Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring the mixture constantly, until it thickens enough to mound thickly on the spoon, 4 to 7 minutes. If at any point the pudding looks curdled, whisk to help smooth it out.
  • Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof container or bowl, then stir in the Scotch or bourbon, if using, and vanilla. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding. (If you like the skin, don't cover pudding until it cools.) Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • When serving, spoon pudding into dishes. Top with dollops of whipped cream, sour cream or crème fraîche, and any of the optional garnishes.
