How to Make Low Fat Butterscotch Custard
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons golden syrup. Stir over low heat until completely blended and the sugar dissolves.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the saucepan and heat gently until hot, but do not boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth and fully combined.
- Gradually pour the milk-egg-cornstarch mixture into the hot sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the custard thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Microwave Method:** In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons golden syrup. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
- In the same bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
- Add the milk-egg-cornstarch mixture to the sugar mixture and stir well to combine.
- Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking, until the custard boils and thickens to your desired consistency.
