I had the same trouble with the graininess. I thought I spent enough time with the stirring, I mixed the flour and sugar thoroughly in the warm pan before adding the liquid so there were no lumps. I think the trick was the fact that i allowed a light boil for a couple of minutes and I think it needed a hard boil for a couple of minutes. Overall, I am trying to ressurrect this outcome to put on top of my bread pudding (see bread pudding I) because it is not that great by itself. For all the butter and sugar in it, I would hope it would be just a little bit better. Yes, I could have done better, but I think the bang just isn't worth the caloric buck in this case. :(

for taste- amazing! for calories- yikes! But, overall this is a great recipe... took me about 5 minutes, and soo yummy. You should really whisk CONSTANTLY and add the milk very slowly to get a great creamy and smooth texture. This was my first time so I used 3\4 brown sugar and 1\4 white. Not too sweet but still nice and butterscotchy. I also added an extra yolk (using them up), 1/2 the amount of butter and some vanilla. Didn't cut out the flavor at all, really nice!!

eh... When I made it it came out with a cottage cheese consistency because my brown sugar was a brick! It sure did taste like butterscotch though! :)

Nice. My children enjoyed this. I modified it slightly adding 2 tsp home-made vanilla extract. Awesome.

Tasty desert but doesn't much resemble any butterscotch I've eaten in the past. It's really easy to make and doesn't require uncommon ingredients. Make sure you like the taste of brown sugar as that is what dominates this simple concoction. Overall, I recommend it if you have the munchies but are feeling too lazy to make something proper. C+

I liked this--it tastes very much like butterscotch. I used almost 3/4 cup brownsugar, and it is very sweet, but butterscotch is supposed to be. This is a somewhat thin pudding and very good as is in dessert cups. The directions would be better if you mix sugar/flour together first and slowly whisk in half the milk before you turn on the heat. Then whisk in rest of the milk until it boils. Add some of the hot pudding to the egg yolks and then stir in. This will make a very smooth pudding.

This is a nice easy recipe, but not much flavor. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and was great. I also mixed the flour, sugar and milk before I turned on the heat and it came out exactly like pudding is supposed to look and there was never any clumping.

This recipe is very creamy and sweet. I used 1/2 dark br. sugar 1/2 light, it turned out really sweet. Next time I believe I will cut the sugar down to 3/4 c and still use half and half. It gives the pudding a much richer butterscotch taste.
