It’s okay to use other types of berries in this pudding or vary the amounts; it’s a good idea, however, to avoid strawberries since they don’t do well when cooked. As the pudding cooks, it makes its own sauce to spoon over the moist pudding; whipped cream or ice cream make it even better.

Batter:
1 cup flour
