Hm, I’ve always had great results with this recipe and sorry you had a disappointing experience! I wonder if the brand or age of the cornstarch matters at all. I’ll look into this a little more.

THis is time consuming, sitting over the stove whisking and whisking and it does taste chalky just like the one middling review suggested. I cooked the pudding extra long to make sure that the corn starch was cooked. The moral of the story is do not trust reviews when there are only 12 reviews.

Oh no! Sorry to hear this recipe didn’t work out for you. I know it’s frustrating to spend time cooking something, only to not have it meet your expectations. I’ve tried a few other kinds of recipes before where I found the cornstarch to be a little much (like in stir fry sauce recipes), and it usually was because I didn’t cook it for long enough. I wonder if making sure to cook the pudding for a certain amount of time, even after it thickens, might help with getting rid of some of that chalky cornstarch taste (kind of like when you make a roux and have to cook the flour for a while). Next time I make this, I’m going to taste it at different points in the cooking and see what I can come up with! In the meantime, you might want to check out this cornstarch free recipe for butterscotch pudding from a very reliably good food blog: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/butterscotch_pudding/

OK. Tried it. Disappointed. Trying to find something that tastes better than the Jell-O brand ‘Cook and Serve’ Butterscotch. This aint it. Sorry. This recipe has an ‘off’ flavor and my mouth is dry as an aftertaste. Too much corn starch maybe?
My search continues.
