Hands down, butterscotch pudding is my all time favorite when it comes to puddings and to have it homemade puts the box pudding to shame. I not only have fond memories of butterscotch pudding but just the flavor of butterscotch takes me back to my youth. This is a very nice and light dessert for heavier meals.
