The Magic Lemon Pudding is a classic English dessert that has been around for over a century. It is a steamed pudding that is light and airy, with a creamy lemon filling that is bursting with citrus flavor. The pudding is often served during the winter months as a comforting dessert, and it was a popular choice during the rationing period of World War II. Despite its humble origins, the Magic Lemon Pudding remains a beloved dessert that is easy to make and enjoyed by all ages.

Instructions
