Whisk together 1/2 Cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt and 3 Tbsp corn starch
Add 2 cups milk or 1 1/2 cups milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream - your choice
Cook until it boils - boil 1 minute
Whisk in 2 Tbsps butter and a shot of flavoring (I use rum or butterscotch schnapps)
Sometimes I toss in a handful of chocolate chips just before pouring it into bowls
Chill for an hour or so, then serve - put waxed paper on surface if you don't want the skin to form
