Meringue Pudding

Pour a quarter of a pint of hot milk over the same measure of bread-crumbs, one ounce of butter, and a lump of sugar that has been rasped on the rind of a lemon. When cool, beat in the yolk of an egg, and bake in a shallow dish till set and a pale brown; spread a little black currant or other fruit jelly on top. Beat the white of the egg, add a tea-spoonful of castor sugar and a few drops of lemon-juice, spread it over the pudding, and return it to the oven for a few minutes to become firm. Probable cost, 8d.
