Butterscotch pudding mix is a delicious and easy way to make pudding from scratch. Keep this mix on hand and you can have dessert ready in a couple of minutes.

Did you know that you can eat pudding warm? In the winter, there's something so soothing about eating a warm, velvety smooth and creamy dessert. 

This recipe uses vanilla powder instead of vanilla extract so you can store the mix dry. You can find the vanilla powder at specialty baking stores or online. It is slightly more intense than vanilla extract and lasts for a long time.

Like all homemade mixes, store in a cool, dry place.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 3/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder

  • 1 cup cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla powder

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, nonfat dry milk powder, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla powder in a medium bowl and mix well with a wire whisk until combined, ensuring that there are no lumps

  3. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid; mark with recipe name, date you made it, and instructions for using.

  4. Stir mix well before using it.

  5. For 2 servings, combine 1/4 cup butterscotch pudding mix, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 cup milk in a small saucepan.
