What is that Pudding?

Queen of Puddings in 1st year domestic science but recall putting whole eggs in the milk and breadcrumbs
Nothing left to make the meringue.

You can make breadcrumbs in the food processor, or by rubbing the bread through a colander or by grating if you don't have a food processor.

Oh, I thought it was an April 1st question

My mum used to make Queen of Puddings; although I had a sweet tooth it was always rather too sweet for me.
Yes, that was the recipe she used Gran5up

Oldgaijin too , Thanks, and to all.

I have a slight residual problem how to make bread crumbs but will bravely overcome it.

Thanks to all I think it was queen of puddings the name is familiar and I guess it was breadcrumbs and jam, not cereal pudd and berries.
Gran5up I copied your mum's recipe on to a stickit note.

Just looked up the recipe on google and Mary Berry’s recipe uses fruit as one option.

Yes, Queen of Puddings, the breadcrumbs would make it taste a bit cereally.

I would say Queen of Puddings.

Definitely Queen of Puddings or, even better, lemon QoP.
It's fine white breadcrumbs set in an egg custard, spread with straw/raspberry jam and covered with meringue. Brown gently in oven...yummo! Try the BBC food website for recipe.

It is actually nice despite how it sounds Merlot. - it can’t be Eton Mess as that uses meringue, cream and raspberries.

Sorry to say it sounds revolting.

It’s the cereal milk base that has me puzzled.

Could it be Eaton Mess?

Queen of Puddings as made by my Mum, hence the English measures:

Half a pint of milk
1 oz butter
2 and a half oz white breadcrumbs
2 tablesp castor sugar
2 eggs
1 tablesp jam
Splash of vanilla if liked

Boil milk + butter, pour over crumbs,add 1 tablesp sugar
Leave to stand while you separate the eggs, beat the yolks then add them + vanilla to the crumbs
Pour into a buttered dish, cook at gas mark 5/190 C/175 F for 30 mins
Take from oven. leave to cool a bit until set
then spread the jam over
Beat egg whites with remaining sugar, pile on top of pudding, place on bottom of oven 20 mins or so to brown meringue
Serve hot or cold
Enjoy and says thanks to my old Mum, Joan!

Could it be Queen of Puddings with a meringue topping and a base made of white breadcrumbs made into a sponge using the egg yolks and milk/cream then topped jam? Totally delicious

I thought Queen of Puddings as well. One of my absolute favourites, I haven't had it in years.

It does sound a bit like Queen of puddings, but as said before that is with breadcrumbs. And coincidentally I'm making one for lunch, with friends, today!

The only pudding I know with meringue on the top is baked Alaska, but the centre is ice cream and fruit and is supposed to stay frozen. The first time I made it it didn’t so would have fitted your description !

My first thought last night, was Queen of Puddings, but there is no cereal milk pudding in it, so it could be! Alexa, you're a sport , thanks for taking my leg pulling as intended, and not as a slight.( Gransnet as it should be).

Doesn't Queen of Puddings have breadcrumbs in milk as a base spread with jam and then meringue?
I think that was then lightly grilled.

I also think it sounds like Queen of Puddings, although my recollection is that there is jam, not berries, in Queen of Puddings.

Queen of puddings? ?

I don't know the name of the site. But you can input the ingredients and it will tell you what you can make with them.

I just remembered I think the whipped egg white was toasted after being added to the pudding.

No Hilda, I'm sure there was no oatmeal.

Sorry about the typo Auntieflo .
