How to Make Queen Of Puddings

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 1-pint pie dish.
  3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar, and the zest of 1 lemon. Mix well.
  4. Heat 1 cup milk in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over the breadcrumb mixture and stir to combine. Let it stand for 5 minutes to absorb the milk.
  5. Whisk 2 large egg yolks and gently incorporate into the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and spread 1/2 cup raspberry jam evenly over the warm pudding.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  9. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 2 ounces (1/4 cup) granulated sugar, whisking until glossy and smooth.
  10. Spread the meringue over the jam layer, ensuring it completely covers the pudding. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of extra granulated sugar for a beautiful golden brown finish.
  11. Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and firm to the touch.
