Butterscotch Pudding
"Got this from www.wholehealthmd.com, they have an online recipe makeover. Was looking for a pudding mix to substitute for bought mix that didn't look like it had vast amounts of sugar (yes, ok, butterscotch is supposed to be sugary)."

What really would have made this better would have been not burning the sugar/butter; I looked away for a minute, but luckily I saved it in time to get just a slight burnt marshmallow-like taste. Based on what another reviewer said I added an extra TBSP of brown sugar. Delicious. EDIT: Ending up making this again, and have changed my rating to five stars. -
This satisfied my "sweet tooth" with bananas on top. The brown sugar is so mild tasting that next time I will try dark. Thanks Cat R. for posting. Roxygirl -
This made three good sized servings for a good dessert with some whip cream. Who doesn't like butterscotch?? Thanks CatR

I work in a local museum, training to be a curator. I enjoy baking at weekends, mainly sweet stuff but the BF and I are trying to put a stop to the expanding waistlines. This means fewer, or smaller batches rather than sugar substitutes or margarine. Butter, cream and sugar all the way (in moderation)!
It's not a proper weekend unless I've burned myself, probably getting something in or out of the oven.
I learnt to knit with the support of the people in the Learn to Knit thread on the craft forum and am now involved with a fun local group. For laughs, I go to quite a few stand-up comedy nights around town.
