Bakewell Pudding

Ingredients
8oz puff pastry
Filling:
Strawberry jam
4 egg yolks
2 egg whites
4oz butter
4oz sugar
Almond essence

Method
1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Roll out pastry and line a wide shallow dish or pie plate, and spread with a thick layer of the jam.
2. Cream butter and sugar, mix in the egg yolks, beaten egg whites, and almond essence.
3. Spread egg mixture over the jam in the dish and bake for 15 minutes.
4.  Reduce heat to 180°C and cook for a further 20 minutes - the filling is meant to remain soft, and is not intended to set.
