Cooking Instructions

  1. Add the egg whites to a clean bowl and begin whisking using an electric hand mixer just foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue mixing while gradually adding the sugar.
  2. Once all the sugar has been added continue whisking until the mixture becomes thick and glassy with a shiny sheen.
  3. Add the lemon zest and fold through the meringue fill a piping bag with the mixture or set aside but don’t place it in the fridge.
  4. Add the sago to a large serving platter and heat as instructed. Melt the apricot jam the microwave or over a medium heat. Drizzle the jam over the pudding before dolloping a large spoonful of the meringue over or using a piping bag to add the meringue.
  5. Using a blowtorch or under a very hot grill brown the meringue for a few minutes, just long enough to add colour to the meringue.
  6. Finish the mixture off with a few ripe figs placed around the dish.  And a jug of the custard on the side.
