This lemon self-saucing pudding is a light and fluffy dessert that creates its own thick lemon sauce as it bakes. By the way, Talia is now our official photographer.

ReplyDeleteDon't you find there is something alchemical about making a self-saucing pudding? Somehow it creates itself when you put it in the oven and you walk away. I think it's quite a miracle.
Talia was fascinated ... and really liked the pudding. Jonathan, on the other hand, didn't like the lemon sauce. He much prefers chocolate pudding!

ReplyDeleteWow absolutely amazing a sauce made by an oven. The sauce tasted great I still wonder how it happened but oh well. this is a nice recipe that everyone can make. I recommend adding a scoop of ice-cream to finish it off.
How delicious this sounds. Love the photographs Talia! You 2 are really making great things happen xxx
