Self-Saucing Lemon & Blackberry Pudding
A light and tangy self-saucing lemon and blackberry pudding, baked until golden with a fluffy sponge on top and a zesty, creamy sauce beneath. Perfect served warm with cream.
Chef’s tip: Don’t overbake, start checking at 33 mins. Adding the lemon juice last stops the mix from curdling.
