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 PUDDINGS WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CRUSHED ENGLISH TOFFEE

Steps:

• Whisk 1 cup half and half, egg yolks, and cornstarch in medium bowl until smooth. Combine remaining 2 cups half and half, brown sugar, and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Bring just to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Gradually whisk hot half and half mixture into egg yolk mixture. Strain mixture back into same saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until mixture just boils and thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in butter, Scotch, and vanilla.
• Divide pudding mixture among six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Cover ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.
• Beat whipping cream and powdered sugar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon large dollops of whipped cream atop pudings. Sprinkle with crushed toffee and serve.
• GOOD TO KNOW:
• Crushing the toffee bar with a mallet while the bar is still in its wrapper helps keep the crushed pieces contained. W hisking the hot half and half into the egg yolks gradually-instead of all at once-keeps the mixture from curdling. And finally, straining the pudding mixture helps get the smoothest, silkiest result.
• *Vanilla paste, made with vanilla bean seeds, packs big flavor. It can be found at Trader Joe's markets, specialty foods stores, and surfasonline.com.

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

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.
