Susie’s Bread Pudding. Maltese Cross
1 quart of milk.
4 eggs—the whites of 3 more for méringue.
2 cups very fine, dry bread-crumbs.
1 table-spoonful melted butter.
1 teacupful sugar.
Juice and half the grated peel of 1 lemon.
Beat eggs, sugar and butter together. Soak the crumbs in the milk and mix all well, beating very hard and rapidly. Season, and bake in greased baking-dish. When almost done, cover with a méringue made of the whites of three eggs and a little powdered sugar.
Eat cold. It is very nice.
