Janet's recipe is what my mother used, just a thinner batter, more
milk, and like she said it rises up and around the fruit. The fruit
went in first and then the thin batter was poured slowly into the pan
and it would sink. As it cooked it would rise up around the fruit
just like Janet's. Give Janet's a shot, I'm sure you'll love it.
