Four Prairie Queens

 

My oldest grandson turns ten today, on Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s also International Red Panda Day and National Dance Day. It would have been the first day of Oktoberfest, if it hadn’t been cancelled. It’s also National Butterscotch Pudding Day. Which one can we celebrate while social distancing?

 

Butterscotch Pudding

 

1 1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cup milk

4 egg yolks (Save the whites for a lovely egg white omelet tomorrow.)

2 tablespoons butter

Whipped cream

 

Whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. In a bowl, blend milk and yolks. Pour milk mixture into saucepan and stir. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until it begins to thicken. Stir in butter until smooth. Spoon into serving cups. You can chill for an hour before serving with a dollop of whipped cream, or you can enjoy it while it’s still warm. I won’t judge.
