Well, if you know me, and I think you do by now, you know I am going to use that brown sugar from yesterday<\/a> and make something today. The other day, Van,<\/a> our son, had his tooth out, and I am making him brown sugar cornstarch pudding. It is more pale than a store bought one, because there is no coloring added, natural or otherwise. But it is a mild, clean, butterscotch flavored pudding.<\/p>\n

Starting with 1\/4 cup of butter in a double boiler. This was my grandfather’s. It has served our family well. Anyway, if you don’t have a double boiler, put a heatproof bowl over summering water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Add 1\/2 cup brown sugar and a generous pinch of salt, and mix until it is all smooth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I added a tsp of vanilla to 1 cup of milk and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to 1\/2 cup milk in a small jar with a lid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mix the vanilla milk with the butter sugar until smooth, and let warm up tightly cap the cornstarch milk and shake it like heck.<\/p>\n

When the milk is warm, add the cornstarch milk while stirring. Cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring often, then pour into a bowl to chill. If you don’t want to have a skin form, top with plastic wrap. We love skin here, so no plastic for us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
