directions

  • Ina small sauce pan, combine1/4 cup sugar with 2 Tblsp water. Place over medium high heat; bring to a simmer and cook stirring often until sugar dissolves.
  • Partly cover pan and continue cooking until sugar turn medium amber. Immediately remove pan from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Add 3 Tablespoons of water and return to medium low heat to melt the caramel.
  • In a bowl whisk the cornstarch with the remaining sugar, the salt, the eggs and the milk. Pour into a medium saucepan, place over medium heat and cook stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the cream thickens.Add vanilla. When pudding barely simmers, remove the pan from heat.
  • Stir the caramel into the pudding. If lumps form, use your whisk.
  • Spoon into dessert dishes or ramekins.
  • Cover and refrigerate until cold. I placed mine a cake dish and covered with foil making sure the pudding did not touch the cover.
  • Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Just prior to serving, sprinkle with white fine sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch.
