Method :
Wipe the lemon with a damp cloth, and grate the rind off it on to the top of the sugar. Work the sugar and lemon rind together with a broad-bladed knife until they are thoroughly blended. Then mix all the dry ingredients together in a basin, and make a well in the centre. Add the lemon juice and egg, and enough milk to make a softish consistency. Pour the mixture into a greased mould or basin, cover with a lid or with greased paper, and steam for 2 to 3 hours. Turn out when ready and serve plain or with custard or lemon sauce.
