1. Grease a 750 ml (1 1/4 pint) pudding basin.
2. Prepare a steamer or half fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil.
3. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
4. Stir in the breadcrumbs, sugar, suet and lemon rind. Mix lightly.
5. In a second bowl, beat the eggs with the lemon juice and about 150 ml (1/4 pint) of the milk.
6. Stir into the dry ingredients, adding more milk if necessary to give a soft dropping consistency.
7. Spoon the mixture into the prepared basin, cover with greased greaseproof paper or foil and secure with string.
8. Put the pudding in the perforated part of the steamer, or stand it on an old saucer or plate in the saucepan of boiling water.
