The Classic Appalachian Pawpaw Pudding
This is the old way. It turns out to be a dense,golden cake, somewhere between a soufflé and a custard pie.
- 2 cups fresh pawpaw pulp mash it through a colander to get the big brownseeds out
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a big bowl, whisk your eggs, milk, melted butter, and that precious orange pulp until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients. Combine them gently—don't overwork it. Pour the batterinto a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake for about 50 minutes. You'll know it's done when the center is set, and the edges are golden-brown. Serve it warm witha little whipped cream.
