Salty Butterscotch Pudding Food

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

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.

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, to caramelize the mixture. You'll smell a characteristic nutty-caramel odor when the butter browns, signaling that the mixture is ready.
• Whisking constantly, gradually add the butter/brown sugar mixture to the hot milk/cream mixture. If the mixture isn't smooth, blend for 20 seconds with a hand blender or pour through a fine sieve. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. Whisk in the cornstarch and salt until dissolved. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into 6 to 8 custard cups, ramekins, or mugs and chill, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.

SALTY BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the milk, cream, salt, and 50 grams (1/4 cup) of the sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the remaining 99 grams (1/2 cup) sugar and the cornstarch.
• When the milk mixture has come to a simmer, turn the heat down to medium-low. Whisk the egg yolks into the sugar-and-cornstarch mixture, then pour in about one third of the hot milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Pour the yolk mixture into the pan and cook the pudding, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula and taking care to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan, until the pudding gets very thick and comes to "first boil" (a large bubble will rise to the surface in the center), 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Pour the pudding into a large heatproof bowl (shallow if you want it to cool quickly) or six 6-ounce ramekins, custard cups, or other individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming (if you secretly love pudding skin, like a select few of us, skip this step).
• Refrigerate the pudding until fully chilled, at least 2 hours, before serving.
• Garnish the chilled pudding with a sprinkling of flaky salt, to taste.

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium heatproof bowl and set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine dark-brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and egg yolks; add to saucepan.
• Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high until mixture thickens and is bubbling, 8 to 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking, 1 minute.
• Remove pan from heat and pour mixture through sieve into bowl. Stir in butter and vanilla until combined.
• Press plastic wrap directly against surface of pudding to prevent skin from forming and refrigerate 3 hours (or up to 3 days). To serve, whisk until smooth and divide among four small bowls.

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300*F,.
• Place the egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk gently until smooth.
• Set aside.
• Heat the brownsugar, milk and cream in a saucepan until the sugar starts to dissolve, then heat to the scalding point (do not boil).
• REmove from heat; cover to keep warm.
• In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil.
• If the sugar starts to spatter, use a pastry brush dipped in water to wash down the sides of the pan.
• As soon as the sugar turns amber, carefully add 1/4 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking until combined.
• Whisk in 2 more cups of the cream mixture, then add the rest.
• pour the caramel cream into the yolks in a thin stream, whisking the mixture constantly.
• Strain through a seive into a bowl, add the salt and vanilla, and place the bowl in an ice bath, stirring to cool.
• Skim any foam from the surface and pour the caramel cream into six 5 ounce ramekins, leaving 1/2 inch at the top of each.
• Place the ramekins in a shallow roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water to come halfway up their sides.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until the puddings are set, (when one is shaken, the center should look a little loose. The cooking time will vary on the temperature of the hot water added to the roasting pan).
• Remove from the oven; allow to cool in the hot water.
• Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERSCOTCH BUDINO (ITALIAN PUDDING)

Steps:

• Make the salted caramel: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup and water to a boil over high heat, swirling (not stirring) to caramelize evenly. When the caramel reaches a dark amber color (about 3 minutes), remove from the heat and carefully add the cream. (The mixture will foam up.) Add the butter, sea salt and vanilla and whisk to combine. Set aside and reserve.
• Make the pudding: In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, water and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture darkens slightly in color. Remove from the heat and whisk in the half-and-half until smooth.
• In a large, heatproof mixing bowl, whisk the whole egg with the egg yolks and cornstarch until combined. Whisk in the maple-syrup-brown-sugar mixture in a slow, thin stream. Pour the mixture into the saucepan through a fine-mesh strainer and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to a puddinglike texture, about 5 minutes.
• Divide the pudding among four 8-ounce ramekins or small mason jars and top each with a quarter of the reserved caramel. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Sprinkle the top of the puddings with sea salt and a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
