  1. Absolutely wonderful pudding! I tagged this recipe because my husband's favorite pudding is butterscotch and we were not disappointed -- this is the best butterscotch pudding we've ever had! Saying that I must admit I took a few shortcuts in this recipe in regards to cooling time. In step 15 I only let the pudding cool for one hour before pouring it in the custard cups (step 17), but in doing so it took the pudding about 1 1/2 hours to fully cook (step 20) (custards/puddings usually take a long time in my oven though). I was running late, so I skipped step 22 and just put the puddings in the fridge for 4 hours (step 23). These are delish and will definitely be making these again - keeping closer to the time table in the recipe though. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
