Mix the lemon rind with the milk and bring to the boil over a gentle

160C/325F, Gas Mark 3.

Separate the yolks from the whites of 2 eggs. Beat the 2 yolks with
the whole egg. Whisk into the breadcrumb mixture then pour into a 1
to 1.5 pint/600 to 900 ml greased ovenproofdish. Stand the dish in a
roasting tin of cold water. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the
mixture is set. Spread with the raspberry jam. Reduce the oven heat
to 150C/300F, Gas Mark 2. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Slowly
whisk in half the sugar, then fold in the remainder. Pipe the
meringue in a lattice work or spread over the pudding and then make
it into peaks. Return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the
meringue is light golden in colour. Serve hot. Variations

the meringue is added to the pudding at 140C/275F, Gas Mark 1.
