directions

  • Put a rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
  • Grease four 6-ounce-capacity individual souffle dishes.
  • Set them aside with a shallow baking pan large enough to hold them.
  • Bring a kettle of water to boil.
  • Put the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • Stir well.
  • Put the persimmon pulp, egg, egg yolks, cream and milk in a 1-qt bowl.
  • Whisk until smooth and flowing.
  • Add the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
  • Divide the mixture among the prepared dishes.
  • Top with the pecans, dividing them equally.
  • Place the dishes in the baking pan.
  • Balance the pan on the edge of the oven rack and carefully pour the boiling water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the dishes.
  • Gently slide the pan into the center of the oven.
  • Bake until the pudding has risen and cracked slightly on the surface, about 40 minutes.
  • A toothpick inserted in the center will come out moist but not wet.
  • The pudding should not be firm.
  • Use a spatula to transfer the dishes from the water to a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.
  • Slightly sweetened cinnamon-flavored whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving.
