1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
2
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in milk over medium heat, ensuring there are no lumps.
3
Cook Mixture
Continue cooking, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot pudding mixture to the egg yolks to temper them, then whisk the yolks back into the saucepan.
5
Finish Cooking
Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
6
Add Butter and Vanilla
Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
7
Chill
Pour the pudding into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
