2 c. persimmon pulp
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 c. milk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 c. flour

Combine persimmons with sugar and melted butter. Add eggs. Add alternately dry ingredients which have been sifted and the milk. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. (In my oven, I bake the pudding in a 9x9 inch pan for 50 minutes.)

TOPPING:

1 c. brown sugar
4 tbsp. flour or cornstarch
2 c. water
1 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt

Mix sugar, flour, butter, salt and vanilla. Add water a little at a time stirring. Cook until thick. After pudding has baked and cooled but still slightly warm, pour topping over pudding.
