Butterscotch as a flavor was created as long ago as 1817 with the bulk of the credit for its invention mainly being directed towards Samuel Parkinson of Doncaster in Yorkshire and the first printed recipe appearing in The Liverpool Mercury in 1848. Originally made in the traditional confectionery fashion of butterscotch candies, it was well known that these treats were enjoyed by the English Royal Family for dessert.
The invention of butterscotch pudding, however, is even more elusive with no clear date or individual standing out as the origin. It is believed that the first butterscotch pudding was created either in Britain itself or in the United States as a way to enjoy the flavor of the popular British candy.
So whether you grab a few snack packs at the grocery store or take on the task of whipping up your own, be sure to have a taste of this royal flavored treat on September 19th for National Butterscotch Pudding Day.
