In honor of ice cold days and frigid, ice filled nights I give you a dessert best served hot - Caramel Pudding.
Caramel Pudding
2 T shortening
2 T sugar
1 egg
1 c flour
3/4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 c milk
1 1/2 c sour cream
3/4 c sour milk (buttermilk or make it sour by adding lemon juice/vinegar)
2 1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c milk
Beat shortening and sugar together till creamy. Add egg and beat hard for 2 minutes. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Put dough in the bottom of a baking tin. For the sauce - using an egg beater, mix together the sour cream, sour milk, sugar and flour. Pour the sauce over the dough and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes. As this bakes the sauce will sink to the bottom and the dough comes to the top to make a perfect dessert. Serve hot.
