Method:

Add the milk to a pan, along with the butter, sugar and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a boil then add the breadcrumbs to a bowl and pour the milk mixture over the top. Leave aside to cool completely before beating the egg yolks into the mixture. Beat thoroughly once more then tip half the mixture into a well-greased baking dish.

Now melt the jam and pour half over the pudding in the baking dish. Add the remaining milk mixture on top of this before pouring the remaining jam over the top of the while mix. Place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for 45 minutes, or until completely set.

Some versions of this dessert have a meringue topping.
