Maple Butterscotch Pudding

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter, salted or unsalted
• 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 cups whole milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons Gelinotte Maple Liqueur (if unavailable use whiskey or rum, or omit the alcohol)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium sized saucepan. Stir in the sugar, maple syrup and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the milk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks.
Slowly pour the remaining milk into the butter and sugar, whisking constantly. Then add the cornstarch mixture.
Return the saucepan to the heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture starts to boil. Lower the heat and continue to whisk for one minute. The mixture should be quite thick.
Pour into 4 serving bowls and chill for at least four hours.

Enjoy!
