Half-a-pound of bread-crumbs, a pint of new milk, two ounces of butter,
the yolks of four eggs, and a little Nelson's Essence of Lemon. Boil the
bread-crumbs and milk together, then add the sugar, butter, and eggs;
when these are well mixed, bake in a tart-dish until a light brown. Then
put a layer of strawberry jam, and on the top of this the whites of the
eggs beaten to a stiff froth, with a little sifted sugar. Smooth over
the meringue with a knife dipped in boiling water, and bake for ten
minutes in a slow oven.
