Cream puddings, as we haw suggested, are the
S~lme as pastry cream. Puddings are usually made
with less starch, however, and may contain any of
sever~11 f1a\,(lring ingredients, such :lS coconut or
chocola te. Butterscotch pudd ing is given its flavor
bv using brown sugar instead of white sugar.

tire mixture to just below a simmer. Care must be
taken to :1\oid curdling the eggs if this method is
