Real Butterscotch Pudding
(Sorta)
(Sorta)
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Donna of Spatulas, Corkscrews & Suitcases chose Real Butterscotch Pudding on page 386 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
I made 1/2 the recipe, omitted the scotch, and doubled the vanilla.
I made it by hand with lots of whisking, and it was pretty easy. Dorie suggests using a food processor but a few people had difficulties with this technique in our last pudding adventure. I double sifted the cornstarch and salt before adding it to the egg mixture to make sure it was smooth.
Topped with a scoop of whipped cream, this is a nice dessert! You can really taste the lightly caramelized light brown sugar mixture.
And the best news this week? Santa came to visit my librarian friend, Shannon and her husband Mike! Introducing Katherine Louise! She arrived December 21 and weighed almost 9 pounds!
Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! May you have a wonderful time with your friends and family this holiday season.
And check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers to see their butterscotch creations!

Your pudding looks awesome! And what a beautiful baby girl!
Gorgeous pictures. Glad you enjoyed it!
What CUTE dishes!
I love your dishes! And the pudding looks delicious. I just used a whisk for mine this time, too. Much easier than the food processor. And what a great baby picture--I love that she's swaddled in the red blanket. =)
beautiful pudding and a beautiful little one!
Glad you liked it. Have a happy holidays!
Beautiful little ramekins - I never thought butterscotch pudding would make an elegant dessert, but I'm seeing so many beautiful presentations today. Glad you liked it even without the Scotch.
this pudding looks awesome. i like how you decorated it :)
love that winged little bowl, so pretty! it shows off the roundness of the whipped cream so well!
Your pudding looks lovely. You really should try it with the scotch. It's tasty.

Your pudding looks fantastic! Wow! Thanks for sharing . . I wish I had your luck when I made these. Happy Holidays!
Cute baby!
I like the way you decorated your puddings. And who doesn't like butterscotch as a flavour!
What a cute baby! Congratulations to your friends.
(your pudding looks great too!)
Oh, I really like that dish in the front of the top picture. So elegant.
Your pudding looks great! Did it actually taste good? I was worried about the flavors and all the butter. It just sounded like an odd combo to me.
How wonderful, both the baby, and your "sweet" skills! Happy Holidays!
Oh my gosh! What a beautiful baby!
Please tell me you've tried Nancy Silverton's Butterscotch Budino...If not, go to Pizzeria Mozza immediately!
PS here's an article I think you'd appreciate.
Wow- that looks absolutely stunning! Congrats to your friends too! :)
I have been traveling non-stop since the beginning of the month, and just got home this past weekend. I've been catching up on my favorite blogs, and I discover that you have been baking up a veritable storm. Sky-high cakes, apple tarts and tarte tatin, and butterscotch pudding! I'm surprised all us bakers can actually walk (instead of waddling)!
Your pudding looks great! Love the ramekin of the first picture.
And that is one cute baby :)
Happy hollidays to you too!
Your pudding looks so elegant! Love that dish. I bet it was great with a bit of extra vanilla!
What a spectacular presentation. The chocolate twigs are a lovely accent.
Amazing pictures! If I were to make this, I would've omitted the scotch too.
Your serving dishes are adorable! (And that baby's not bad looking, either.) :) Merry Christmas!
You managed to make the pudding look so elegant! I'm looking forward to making this. Decision include: whether to use scotch or not and what dishes to put it in.
Lovely baby; so nice of you to give the little one a shout out!
Nancy
You always have such great pictures. And your food styling, well, do you offer lessons? :)
Happy Holidays!
Your pudding looks fabulous. You always have a way of making everything look so delicious and beautiful and what an adorable little baby, all dressed in red. Merry Christmas!
WOW! I'm floored! How dainty and precious... I hope you had pretty important people over! LOL

Your pudding looks delicious. I love the garnish and the presentation. Have a great holiday!
That baby is ADORABLE! I love the little red blanket she's swaddled in! The pudding looks great. Thanks for the tip on double sifting. When I make it, I will give it a shot.
