Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 pint whole milk
  • 1 tablespoons butter

  • 4 tablespoons caster sugar (divided, plus 1 teaspoon you can use your blender or coffee grounder to grind regular sugar into superfine caster sugar)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 1 1/2 pint glass baking dish. Set aside.

  • Step 2: Place the milk along with the lemon rind, and bring just to the boiling point, over medium heat.

  • Step 3: Remove from the heat, and stir in the breadcrumbs and half of the sugar. Set aside to let the flavors meld for 20 minutes.

  • Step 4: Separate the eggs, putting the whites into a clean glass bowl, free from any grease. Beat the yolks, and then beat them into the breadcrumb mixture.

  • Step 5: Pour this bread custard into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the center of the oven, for 30-35 minutes, or just until set. Remove from the oven.

  • Step 6: Heat the jam until it melts, then spread it evenly over the top of the baked pudding.

  • Step 7: Beat the egg whites along with a pinch of salt until foamy. Continue to beat, adding the remaining sugar slowly, beating them until they form stiff peaks. Spoon this mixture evenly over top of the jam.

  • Step 8: Sprinkle evenly with the remaining teaspoon of sugar.

  • Step 9: Place back in the oven, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown.

  • Step 10: Serve warm.
