Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar
0.25 cup cornstarch
3 cups milk
0.5 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks, beaten
0.25 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add milk, creating a smooth, thick paste. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the remaining milk to a simmer. Incorporate the brown sugar mixture, return to a gentle boil, and cook for precisely 1 minute.
Place egg yolks in a separate small bowl. Temper the yolks by whisking in approximately 1/4 of the hot milk mixture. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture and return to low heat. Cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute; then remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla extract until the butter is fully melted and well combined. Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
