I am guessing that the recipe is Queen of Puddings (I have also seen it
called Queen's Pudding). Here is a recipe for it (can't vouch for the
recipe, I have never made it).
2 oz breadcrumbs
1/2 pint milk
3/4 oz butter
2 oz caster sugar
1 egg
jam
Heat milk and butter in a saucepan until almost boiling point and pour over
crumbs, adding half the sugar. Stir and leave for 20 min. or so. Separate
egg, beat yolk with a teaspoonful cold water and add to crumb mixture. Pour
into a greased pie-dish and back in moderate oven for about 20 min.
Whisk white of egg stiffly [which brings to mind a soldier standing at
attention while whisking eggs!], then fold in remaining sugar. Spread a
little jam over the top of baked crumbs etc. and pile meringue mixture on
top, spreading roughly. Return dish to oven, lowering heat a little, and
leave until lightly browned on top.
