Buttermilk Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the gelatin with 2 tablespoons of warm water in a small bowl and set aside. Don't worry if the gelatin actually "gels" while you are warming the cream! It completely dissolves once it's placed in the warm cream.
• Put the whipping cream and sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat only until the sugar has dissolved; do NOT scald! Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and add the gelatin to the warm cream mixture. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved. This will take a couple of minutes of stirring with a wooden spoon until the gelatin is completely incorporated into the warm cream.
• Allow cream to come to room temperature. I have successfully held the pan over a bowl filled with cold ice water, stirring constantly, to reduce the temperature faster.
• Once the cream has cooled to room temperature, add the buttermilk and stir well until thoroughly combined. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pourable container that can hold 4 cups, to catch any bits of undissolved gelatin.
• Pour the mixture into ramekins, about 1/2 cup per ramekin (the pudding is very rich). Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and chill to set for at least three hours. At the 1st hour, this is still liquid; at the 2nd hour, it begins to set and by the 3rd hour, it's sheer perfection.
• Serve as is for a refreshing and light dessert, with a few fresh berries on top, or layered in a parfait glass with berries.

Steps:

• In small bowl, soften the gelatin in cold water.
• Then add boiling water and stir until dissolved.
• Using large bowl, dissolve the sugar in buttermilk.
• Add lemon juice and rind.
• Strain the gelatin into it and mix until well blended.
• Pour into 2 quart dish.
• Chill until set, about 3 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter with a fork, or rub between your fingers until it is in small pieces. Stir in the buttermilk just until blended. Spread evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Make a layer of rhubarb over the batter in the dish, then sprinkle 1 cup of sugar over it. Dot with remaining butter. Sprinkle with nutmeg, then pour boiling water over the whole thing.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the batter is cooked through and rhubarb is tender. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Make buttermilk puddings:
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl and let soften 1 minute.
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a small heavy saucepan and add pod. Add remaining 3/4 cup milk and sugar and bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture to hot milk mixture, stirring until dissolved. Quick- chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, until cold but not thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in buttermilk, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large glass measure, discarding solids. Pour into bowls and chill until set, at least 8 hours.
• Make sauce:
• Bring wine, water, sugar, zests, and bay leaf to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Add strawberries and simmer 5 minutes. Discard zests and bay leaf, then purée strawberry mixture in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force through clean fine-mesh sieve and discard solids.
• Chill sauce, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 1 hour.
• To serve:
• Spoon sauce over puddings and top with remaining berries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Put the persimmon puree into a mixing bowl and add the buttermilk. Beat well with a mixer.
• Sift together the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Beat the eggs and add them to the persimmon mixture. Add the sifted dry ingredients and beat with the mixer. Beat in the butter. There should be about six cups.
• Butter a six-cup baking dish and pour the batter into it. Set the baking dish in a larger utensil and pour boiling water into the larger dish.
• Place in the oven and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the pudding is set and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
• May be topped with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack positioned in the top third of the oven.
• Sift together flour and baking powder in a large bowl. In another large bowl beat eggs until creamy and yellow. Whisk in buttermilk, vanilla, 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, and butter (mixture will look curdled and broken). Slowly add flour and whisk until batter is smooth and combined.
• Spray 8 standard-size (3-ounce) nonstick muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin pan cups, filling about two-thirds full. Transfer to oven and bake until sides of cakes are evenly browned (check by inserting a knife tip between the rim of cake and muffin cup, pulling gently to expose side of cake), about 9 minutes. If cakes are not evenly browned, they will not hold together when inverted. Continue baking, checking every minute, until evenly browned.
• Meanwhile, place raspberries in a medium bowl; add remaining 4 tablespoons sugar and gently toss to coat.
• Invert cakes onto eight individual plates. Place berries on top and alongside cakes; serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
• Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, butter, yolks, and 1/3 cup sugar in a separate bowl, then stir into flour mixture.
• Beat egg whites with an electric mixer at medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium-high and add remaining 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until whites just hold stiff peaks.
• Stir about one third of whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Pour batter into baking dish and bake in a water bath until puffed and golden-brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Toss raspberries with maple syrup and serve with warm pudding cake.
