Butterscotch pudding
Butterscotch pudding is a dessert that can be traced back to the 19th century. The first known recipe for butterscotch pudding appeared in Mrs. Beeton's Book of Cookery and Household Management in 1861. The recipe called for a mixture of brown sugar, butter, eggs, and milk to be boiled together and then thickened with flour.
Butterscotch pudding became a popular dessert in the United States during the early 20th century. One of the first American cookbooks to include a recipe for butterscotch pudding was Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, published in 1896. The book included a recipe for "Butterscotch Cream," which was made with brown sugar, butter, milk, and eggs.
During the 1930s, butterscotch pudding became even more popular in the United States. Jell-O, the makers of gelatin desserts, introduced a butterscotch-flavored pudding mix in 1937. The pudding mix was an instant success and helped to make butterscotch pudding one of the most popular desserts in America.
Advice
Making butterscotch pudding is a fun and delicious activity that the whole family can enjoy. When making butterscotch pudding, it's important to be patient with the process as it can take some time to achieve the desired texture. Begin by combining the dry ingredients and whisking them together until they are well-combined. Next, add the wet ingredients and whisk until the pudding is smooth and creamy. Finally, cook the pudding over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Allow the pudding to cook until it is thick and creamy, then transfer it to a bowl and let it cool before serving. Enjoy!
