1½ pints (850ml) thick custard
1 pint (570ml) clotted cream 4 egg whites
Citron powder
Castor sugar
For this recipe you require two aluminium pudding basins, the smaller being able to fit inside the other and leave a ½inch (12mm) gap all the way round. Put a layer of custard in the bottom of the smaller dish about ½inch (12mm) thick, then a layer of clotted cream the same thickness, and repeat the layers until both custard and cream are fully used and ending with a cream layer. Sprinkle citron, or even thin lemon slices, on top then a dusting of castor sugar. Now whip the egg whites until stiff and place on the top. The smaller basin should now fit inside the larger and the gap packed with ice.
Bake in a very hot oven about 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for 2½ minutes or under a fierce grill to brown the top lightly.
