How to cook deliciously - Butterscotch Pudding

1. Stage

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt and nutmeg. Stir in the milk until smooth. Cook and stir the mixture over medium-high heat until it's thickened and bubbly. Reduce the heat to low, then cook and stir for two minutes longer. Remove it from the heat.

2. Stage

Gently stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then return all of it to the pan. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, then cook it for two minutes or until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove it from the heat.

3. Stage

Stir in the butter and vanilla. Let everything cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Divide the pudding among six dessert dishes, then cover and refrigerate until chilled. Garnish each portion with whipped cream, if desired.
