Old-Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding Recipe

"This creamy pudding, thickened with cornstarch and egg yolks and stirred together on the stove, is as homey as it gets Spiking the mixture with a little bourbon or Scotch isn’t strictly traditional, but it does add a pop of flavor Choose bourbon to underscore the caramelized notes of the brown sugar, or Scotch for a savory smokiness and a nod to the name..."
