Although there are no marshmallows in this creamy South African pudding, its name likely came from its spongy consistency! scrumptious with cream, hot or cold.

Reviews
This is my first encounter with a healthier kind of pancake (I mean the whole wheat). There is no added sugar, so these are heartier than they are sweet. I did drizzle with maple syrup though, so that added some sugar. I made some with blueberries and some without and both came out well. I actually liked the ones without blueberries a bit better. What could be improved: the recipe calls for making the batter in a blender, and honestly this isn’t something I’ll do again. A straight up mixer is what you need. The blender doesn’t get into the corners, leaving some of the mix dry. It’s also annoying to pour because it’s so thick, meaning if you’re not careful more comes out than you want. The old-fashioned bowl with a big spoon is still the best way I’m curious what it would be like to chop the blueberries smaller or even throw some crushed ones into the initial batter? I like this recipe and will return to experiment, but it’s not all the way there yet.
Pretty good. I added a little salt and sugar. I didn’t put it in the blender and I did have to add probably about 1/3 cup more milk to get the right consistency.
