The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 3.83 star rating.

I was really looking forward to tasting the result of this recipe, because I live in a foreign country and butterscotch flavored anything cannot be found here. Unfortunately, I found the flavor very mild, with more of just a "sweet" taste than anything else. Mid-way through cooking, however, I tasted the milk/sugar mixture, just before putting in the egg, and before adding the vanilla. I actually thought that it tasted more like butterscotch at that point, than at the end. I think I will try this again, but I will make some changes. I will either increase the amount of brown sugar used in the recipe, or I will try using dark brown sugar instead of the light brown sugar that I used. Also, I think I will omit the vanilla.

Meh, I didn't think this recipe was that great, tasted like milk and brown sugar to me. But I was in a pinch, I ran out of my 5 year old's fav pudding, so i whipped this up, he ate it.

Awsome. I have been looking for a good butterscotch pudding for a long time! The only change I made was to add a bit of butterscotch schnapps - I like it Really butterscotchy!

I followed this recipe exactly as written, using dark brown sugar. My only confusion was that the ingredients called for 3 cups milk and it wasn't clear in the instructions whether the "enough milk to make thick paste" was from this 3 cups or in addition to the 3 cups. I assumed it was included in the three cups. Anyway, the pudding ended up not setting as well as I would like, after refrigerating overnight it is kind of soft-set. What I don't like about it is it has a floury taste/texture. Since I did not use flour I assume that is the cornstarch. So I obviously did something wrong in the cooking...maybe I didn't get the milk boiling hard enough before adding the cornstarch/sugar mixture? I plan to try this one more time to see if I can get it to come out better, if not I will move on to another recipe:)

yum yum! Don't stir again after you finish stirring the butter in, or it will get grainy. I also added about a tablespoon of scotch whiskey for flavor- it is butterSCOTCH, after all.

Awesome- so super creamy! I added an extra tablespoon of cornstarch because the other reviews had me worried about the pudding setting up. I'm not sure if I really needed it but it turned out fabulous! The perfect comfort food in the middle of a South Dakota snowstorm! My husband snitched so much of it that I had to make another batch to have enough for our kids! :) Enjoy!

Very Rich and Very Sweet. You could probably forgo the butter and use less sugar and it would be perfect.

I don't think I'll make this again. the mixture didn't firm up until completely cooled (2 hrs). It was too sweet to be eaten alone. Maybe if the cornstarch was increased this could be used as a pie filling.

Great flavor, especially warm. Faster to make than homemade puddings which don't use cornstarch, but didn't really set up until chilled.

This beats packaged butterscotch pudding! Really liked it and can't wait to fix it for my daughter and family when they come to Wyoming to visit. Butterscotch is her very favorite.
