Caramel Pudding

“Caramel pudding was always a favorite in the family when I was growing up, now I enjoy making it for my family. My grandmother often cooked 'from scratch', and she still does. As you can see from this recipe, it uses a good many 'on-the-farm' products, which made this tasty treat even more enjoyable--we'd get to eat the fruits of our labor!”

Was a good pudding, taste wise. I used corn starch instead of flour to thicken the pudding. As it was my first time trying something like this, I did end up with lumps. :( So I ended up straining it and removing all the clumps. After that it tasted delish, silky smooth. Will definately make this again! thanks!

This pudding had a good caramely taste but the texture was like eating homemade paste or a very thick gravy . I guess I'll keep looking for a good caramel pudding recipe.

This was pretty good. It took a little time to make, but I followed the instructions (using my kitchenaid, which made it easy) and it came together very well. I cut the recipe down to 10 servings. The flavor was good enough, but I didn't like the texture much. It was almost... pasty and gluey. Maybe that's from using flour instead of cornstarch. So I wouldn't make it again, but that doesn't stop me from eating it!

I love the taste of brown sugar and that's why I was attracted to this recipe. BUT... although the taste was great I really don't care much for puddings made with flour. So if I make the pudding again, I think I'll try about 2Tblsps cornstarch to 2 cups 2% milk. I also mixed it my usual way for making puddings, start with the dry ingredients in a saucepan, slowly whisk in the cold milk, cook until it reaches the boiling point, mix some of the hot liquid into the beaten egg and then add all back to the pan. Cook a little more and then add the butter and vanilla after removing from the heat. Maybe make a "fancier" dessert out of this by layering toffee chips, angel food cake cubes and the pudding in parfait glasses???

This rich pudding has a really terrific flavour and texture. A custard made with flour instead of cornstarch often yields a firmer custard, but this one is not overly so. I did use the different order of mixing trick with beautiful and easy results. I will definitely add this to my permanent cardfile! Thanks!

love this recipe, only advice is follow the advice of KEZ to avoid lumpy pudding. It has a good light flavor and is extremely easy to whip up.

I should have gone with my instinct here as I was pretty certain following the directions was going to leave me with lumpy pudding. I went with it though and sure enough lumpy pudding. But my daughter was really craving something sweet and there wasn't much in the house, which was why I tried it in the first place. So I tried again. The second time I scalded the milk whsked it into the dry ingredients a little at a time and then whisked in the egg. I then added this mix into the remaining milk a little at a time. went with the original instructions from there and no lumps. I scaled this down to 5 servings. Whilst it satisfied my daughter's craving, I don't think I'd make again. Thanks for letting me try.
