How to Make Baked Pumpkin Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or several smaller ramekins.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 1 cup buttermilk. Beat until completely smooth.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Beat well.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s). Place the pan(s) in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the smaller pan(s) (this creates a water bath).
  8. Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on the size of your pan(s).
  10. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
