1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cream

Mix sugar and pulp together. Mix soda in buttermilk then add all together. Bake at 350 degrees about 30 to 45 minutes.

SAUCE FOR TOPPING:

2 tbsp. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. water

Let come to a boil. Stir until cool. Pour over pudding. Use all this even if you bake a small pudding.

Serves 12. I usually make 1/2 of this recipe.
