Buttermilk Pudding Recipe

Buttermilk Pudding Recipe


Ingredients
2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup of sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeded (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of buttermilk
Jam or jelly to serve, optional

Method

1 In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with 2 tablespoons of water and set aside.

2 Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds and pod (or extract if using) into a small sauce pot over medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved take off the heat and add the gelatin to the warm cream. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved.

3 After the cream cools to room temperature add the buttermilk and stir. Pour through a fine mesh sieve to catch any bits of undissolved gelatin.

4 Pour into ramekins. About 1/2 cup per ramekin is enough (the pudding is very rich). Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to set for about four hours minimum. Serve with your favorite jam, jelly, marmalade, fruit, or straight up.

Serves 6.
