New Moon Pudding - Aunt Annie Campbell's Recipe


Saturday, June 25, 1927
...today I made a certain special pudding which I make on special occasions-and on special occasions only, it being rather merciless on the eggs. It is an old Park Corner recipe and as it was nameless I have christened it "New Moon Pudding."
The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery,

Ingredients


1 quart of milk                                    
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 and 1/6 cups sugar
rind of one lemon (grated)
juice of 1 lemon

1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions:

"Into one quart of milk put two full cups of bread crumbs, 2/3 cup sugar, the rind of one lemon grated, the slightly beaten yolks of six eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake in oven until a silver knife comes out clean. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff with 1/2 cup of white sugar and the juice of one lemon. Spread on top. Return to oven and brown.
