1 oz butter
2 and a half oz white breadcrumbs
2 tablesp castor sugar
2 eggs

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
