Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken and come to a gentle boil. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
Add Butter and Vanilla: Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
Cool and Serve: Pour the pudding into serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
Garnish (Optional): Before serving, you can garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if you like.
Enjoy your homemade butterscotch pudding!
