Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter

30g

3/4 cup brown sugar

170g

2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour

30g

2 eggs

100g

2 cups milk (1% fat)

480g

1/2 cup sugar

100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure all the ingredients and set them aside. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them lightly.

2. Melt Butter and Brown Sugar: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved, forming a butterscotch base. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add Flour: Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.

4. Combine Eggs and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the lightly beaten eggs. Whisk until the mixture is even.

5. Heat Milk: In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's warm but not boiling. This helps to evenly mix with the butterscotch base and prevent curdling.

6. Temper Eggs: Gradually add the warm milk to the egg and sugar mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly. This process, known as tempering, helps to prevent the eggs from curdling.

7. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the butterscotch base, stirring constantly to combine.

8. Cook the Pudding: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.

9. Strain and Cool: If desired, strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps. This step is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.

10. Chill Pudding: Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

11. Serve: Once set, your butterscotch puddings are ready to serve! You can garnish with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure to use low heat when melting the butter and sugar to avoid burning.

- Whisk continuously when adding the flour to prevent lumps from forming.

- Temper the eggs by slowly adding a small amount of hot milk mixture to avoid curdling.

- Use a fine-mesh sieve when pouring the mixture into serving dishes for a silky-smooth texture.

- Cover the surface with plastic wrap when chilling to prevent a skin from forming.
