Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.

Put the persimmon chunks in a large mixing bowl; sprinkle in the brown sugar, white sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until everything is well combined; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture looks like small pebbles. Slowly add the buttermilk, a little at a time, mixing with your hands until it forms a ball; turn the dough out onto a flour-dusted work surface. Knead until smooth. Roll into an 8x8-inch square about 1/2 inch thick.
- 4
Pour the persimmon mixture and all its juices into the prepared baking dish. Tear off pieces of dough; arrange them like patchwork on top of the persimmons, leaving small gaps between the pieces so the juices can bubble up around the dough.
- 5
Brush the dough pieces with milk; sprinkle with cane sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven until the persimmons are bubbling and the biscuit topping is browned, about 40 minutes. Cool before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
