Method:

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

Mix well and allow to cool. Preheat the oven to 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.

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.
