Bread Pudding with Meringue
- 1 cup sugar
- 3-4 eggs, separated
- 4 cups hot milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups dry bread crumbs
- Dash of nutmeg
- 6 tablespoons sugar
Beat sugar with the egg yolks, and add to hot milk; add melted butter and vanilla. Pour mixture over the bread cubes and let stand with patience for a few minutes (be patient, you rascal). Turn into a buttered baking dish and add a moderate amount of nutmeg. Bake in rather slow oven, 300°F., until firm.
Beat the egg whites very stiff and gradually add the 6 tablespoons sugar; beat until smooth. Spread over the pudding and place in a slow oven until lightly browned. Serve with Lemon Sauce.
