Directions: |
Directions:Melt the butter or margarine in an oven proof pan large enough to accommodate the recipe ingredients. Set aside.
Toss together the fruit and sugar then set aside.
Mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder and add it to the butter in the pudding pan. Stir in the milk and vanilla and mix wet and dry ingredients well.
Spoon fruit over batter. Do not mix. The batter will rise up through the fruit and the fruit will be on the bottom in the finished product.
Bake at 375 F for approximately 45 minutes or until batter is lightly browned.
It’s best to place pudding pan on a cookie sheet in case it boils over. |

Notes: Grandma Beatty (Zettie Lofton Beatty) was Dad’s (Ray Von Beatty, Sr.) mother and she lived in the old Beatty house at Sherrill’s Ford, N.C. It has since been torn down. Our family would come to visit for a week every July 4th. There would be a big picnic and all the uncles and aunts would be there with their children. It was a grand occasion for all us kids. During the week while we were there, Grandma Beatty cooked the dishes that Dad had enjoyed as a child. They were similar but not quite the same as the foods my mother’s family cooked. I especially loved blackberry season when she would send us kids out with pots to pick the dark, sweet berries and we knew they would end up as the best dessert we had ever eaten. Some people call it cobbler but she called it mountain pie because the batter rises high in the center like a mountain. She baked this in an enameled 10” round pudding pan that was approximately 4” to 5” deep. It held a lot of pie. This is her recipe:
