Method

  1. 1. Melt the butter in a medium heavy-based saucepan. Add the brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, stirring until you have a nice thick butterscotch sauce.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, place the cornflour in a bowl with the salt and slake with a couple of tablespoons of the milk until smooth, then whisk into the rest of the milk in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks with the vanilla extract and then gradually add the hot butterscotch sauce, whisking constantly.
  3. 3. Wipe out the saucepan. Strain the mixture back through a fine-mesh sieve back into the saucepan and cook over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly, until the butterscotch custard starts to thicken.
  4. 4. Remove from the heat. Pour into pretty glasses or ramekins and chill for at least an hour or up to 3 days.
  5. 5. To make the caramel sauce, place the butter, sugar, and golden syrup into a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk together; simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce is thick and sticky.
  6. 6. Use right away or transfer to a jar and refrigerate when cool to use as needed. The sauce will keep for up to 7 days refrigerated.
  7. 7. To serve, drizzle the puddings with caramel sauce and top with a dollop of crème fraiche and a final drizzle of sauce.
