Woman makes a mud pie (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maud

'woman' is the definition.
(woman's name)

'a mud pie' is the wordplay.
'pie' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'mud'='amud'
'amud' with letters rearranged gives 'MAUD'.

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for maud that I've seen before include "Tennyson poem" , "Girl invited into the garden in song" , "Come into the garden, - (Tennyson)" , "Girl invited into garden (Tennyson)" , "Old song: ''Come into the garden . . . .''" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
