Since I am a big from-scratch-cooking-person, I ordered a cookbook via Ebay awhile back called Amish Cooking. It cost me hardly anything, and it has been well worth every penny! It is just a simple cookbook published back in the 70s. I love it!
I was in the mood for pudding tonight, so in it I found this recipe and whipped up butterscotch pudding.
We are eating it hot right now. Yum!
If there is any left, I will put it into little pudding cups with lids into the refrigerator for everyone to eat cold later..
Butterscotch pie or pudding:
2 Tbsp. butter
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup hot water
Put butter in a heavy saucepan and brown. Add brown sugar and stir until sugar is melted. Add the hot water and cook slowly until all the lumps disappear (electric mixer makes it really smooth!).
Mix:
2 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. Cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt.
2 egg yolks
2 cups milk for pie OR 2 1/2 cups for pudding.
Stir slowly into hot syrup. Boil until it thickens. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. For the pie,pour into baked pie shell and top with meringue (I like cool whip better!).
I think I will double it next time :-)

Yummy!! That sounds so good. My mom used to make hot chocolate pudding for us when we lived on the mission field and we couldn't get good chocolate there. It always tasted sooooooo good!
That does sound good (and easy)! My kids would love it. Will have to try it. I would use cool whip too - much easier and my kids would love it that way.

Great recipe! When I got married, Terri Baily gave me an Amish Country cookbook that has been one of my favorites these 12 years. Great, simple recipes that are often designed to feed a small army. Not so necessary 12 yrs ago, but sure comes in handy these days! :)
does it have a recipe for stuffed pig stomach? I saw an Amish cookbook once that did :-) If so, you will have to try it!
Did you try using caramel syrup instead of brown sugar? because brown sugar tends to renege on people on flavor and for some reason for me I don't like going through arduous processing of making it into syrup which you dully noted it. Try using Torani Splenda Caramel Syrup type and then add to that mix you had going it has buttery taste mind you but has no sugar and it will not make your diabetic friends upset. My mom and older sister are both diabetic...so I have to be careful what I eat now adays.
Strangely I had feeling that what recipe look like. Except could you put the pudding into cake like middle of it? I been experimenting for while adding ingrediants that taste yummy...not like chocolate syrup or anything like that. but I really do bake breads and well other things into cookies try to make something that will work imagination. Pudding I like tapioca myself but I really don't know what other additives big companies they could put in into pudding besides too much sugar. 1 grams or 10 grams sugar is all I can stand for sugary stuff...sometimes ice cream I can barely eat due to over done it ice cream flavor is nothing but air.
