Title: Persimmon Pudding
Categories: Dessert
Yield: 12 Servings

1	pt	Buttermilk
1	pt	Persimmons, ripe
1	c	Sugar
1		Egg
1	tb	Butter
1/2	ts	Baking powder
1/2	ts	Baking soda
1/4	ts	Cloves
1/2	ts	Allspice
1	ts	Cinnamin
		Flour

Mix buttermilk and ripe persimmons. Press through sieve or colander. Then add sugar, egg, butter, baking poweder, baking soda, cloves, allspice and cinnamin. Add enough flour to make stiff, but not as stiff as cake dough. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) until done. If the pudding falls a little, this is so much the better, and if it seems soggy - that also makes it better. When you are ready to serve cut in squares and top with whipped cream or sugar and cream.
