Persimmon Pudding With Sweet White Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, combine persimmon pulp, baking soda, sugar and eggs. Mix well.
• Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, milk and melted butter. Stir to combine.
• Pour into baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 55 minutes. The pudding will rise but will fall when removed from oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F for glass pans, or 350°F for metal pans.
• Grease and flour two 9"x13" pans.
• Cream the sugar and butter together.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.
• Add the persimmon pulp and the buttermilk to the mixture.
• Dissolve the baking soda in a little bit of warm water, let fizz, and then add to the mixture.
• Mix the baking powder with one (1) cup of flour and add to mixture.
• Add the second cup of flour a little bit at a time, but do not overbeat as this will make the pudding tough.
• Divide the batter into two pans (this will produce a rather thin layer of pudding when baked).
• Bake for 45 to 60 minutes checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center after 45 minutes.
• Do NOT overbake!
• Better the pudding be a little on the moist side than dry.
• For the sauce, place the first 4 ingredients in saucepan, bring to boil, boil 5 minutes, then remove from heat and add the vanilla.
• Once the pudding is done and has cooled a little, cut it into 3” squares and layer it in a serving dish with the warm sauce between the layers and ending with sauce spooned over the top.

Steps:

• To make the pudding, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with the persimmon pulp, brandy, eggs, and baking soda mixture. Stir in the vanilla, spices, walnuts, and raisins and mix on low until the butter comes together, about 5 minutes.
• Butter the top and bottom of a 2-quart pudding mold with a lid. Spoon in the mixture. Put the buttered lid on tightly and lock into place. Put the mold in a bigger pot filled with water to come halfway up the side of the mold; cover the pot. It is necessary to have a well-buttered mold and enough water for ample steam for this pudding to come out right. Bring the water to a simmer and let simmer over medium-low heat for about 2 hours. Make sure the water doesn't evaporate; add more hot water if it does. The pudding should be checked with a cake tester. When the tester comes out clean, the pudding is done. Take the mold out of the water and unmold when cool, 1 to 2 hours.
• While the pudding is steaming, prepare the hard sauce. Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Beat in the brandy. Chille at least 1 hour. Serve with the warm pudding.

Steps:

• Put milk in medium size sauce pan, bring to a gentle simmer.
• Add beaten egg, blending continuously with whisk.
• Add sugar; continue to whisk.
• Mix flour with water. Add slowly to mixture, still whisking.
• Stir mixture till it becomes thick, but still "pourable.".
• Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Serve warm, ladled over individual cake slices. (I recommend my Grandmothers cake, Recipe #360999).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another large bowl, whisk the persimmon, buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla and maple flavoring. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° for 40-45 minutes or until pudding begins to pull away from sides of pan and center is firm. Serve warm with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add egg; beat well. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in persimmon pulp., Pour into six well-greased 8-oz. custard cups or ramekins. Cover tightly with a double layer of foil. Place on a rack in a deep kettle. Add 1 in. of boiling water to kettle; cover and boil gently. Replace water as needed. Steam for 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before removing from custard cups., For butter sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Drizzle over pudding.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, white sugar, and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until smooth, and add the flour mixture, alternating with the persimmon pulp in several additions, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the melted butter. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow to cool before serving.
