Mary Berry Magic Lemon Pudding
Mary Berry Magic Lemon Pudding is a baked dessert made from a loose batter flavoured with lemon zest and juice. During baking, the mixture naturally separates into two layers: a soft sponge topping and a silky lemon sauce below. It’s often called a self-saucing pudding for this reason.
