How to Make Ozark Pudding

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chopped walnuts (or your preferred nuts).
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite topping: whipped cream, ice cream, or sherry sauce!
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
