How to Make Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup cornstarch until well combined.
- Stir in 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk and ½ cup water. Whisk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and thickens. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg. Gradually whisk in about ½ cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the egg.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute, until the pudding is thickened and smooth. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until melted and fully incorporated.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely chilled and set.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of sea salt (optional) before serving and enjoy!
