Basically -- there are no words beyond a satisfied "yummm" to express its sheer perfection, but we'd love to hear yours when you have at the recipe yourself! Thanks to Lydon's generosity, it's found a new home here on food52.

Oh my....I haven't had butterscotch pudding since my Nana used to make it four me when I was a kid (drizzled with lots of fresh heavy cream for good measure). I will be making this recipe very soon, and thinking of Nana when I do. Thanks.

Where is the recipe? I can't see it here.

I'm from Brazil and, as you know, flan is a very popular recipe in Latin America. So, I use the same technique showed here for my perfect flans.
And, as there's always new to be learned in this world, I was very surprised with the use of plastic film. I'm gonna try it next time.
Wonderful tips!! Thanks

That was fun to watch! I love the little pile of pecans in the puddle of butterscotch to scoop up! Are the nuts candied?
