“Addy and Momma took sweet potato pudding to the potluck supper at church on Christmas Day. You make it, too, by following the traditional recipe that their family made for generations. Mix up the ingredients in the yellowware bowl with a wooden spoon. Pour the batter into the cast-iron skillet. It’s called “spider” because it stands up on three little legs. Pop the pudding in the over, and decorate it with a sprig of holly when it’s done. Yummy!” (Pleasant Company Catalogue, Holiday 1993)
