Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, light or dark
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce, for serving
Sea salt flakes, for serving
Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the sugar, cornstarch and kosher salt in a medium, nonstick saucepan, then gently whisk together. Put the milk and egg yolks in a separate pitcher or bowl, then whisk together until combined. Pour the wet mixture into the saucepan with the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Turn on the heat to medium and cook, stirring gently, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 10 minutes. When it reaches a pudding consistency, add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and spoon into bowls. Chill for about 1 hour, until very cold.
  • Top each bowl with about a tablespoon of salted caramel sauce, some sea salt flakes and unsweetened whipped cream.

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.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread is more absorbent and will result in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding. If you don't have any stale bread on hand, you can easily make your own by spreading fresh bread cubes on a baking sheet and baking them in a low oven until they are dry and slightly crispy.
  • Don't overmix the bread pudding batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread pudding. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath will help to prevent it from drying out. Place the bread pudding dish in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  • Let the bread pudding rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread pudding to set. Let the bread pudding cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of different ingredients and substitutions. With a little creativity, you can easily create your own unique bread pudding recipe. Remember to use stale bread, don't overmix the batter, use a water bath and let the bread pudding rest before serving.
