Method:

1. Melt the butter or margarine in a large frying pan (skillet). Stir in the breadcrumbs and sugar and cook, stirring, until golden.

2. Turn out on to a piece of kitchen paper (paper towel). Empty the custard into a bowl and gently fold in the cream to give a marbled effect.

3. Divide a third of the crumbs between four sundae glasses. Top with half the custard, then half the mandarins.

4. Repeat the layers and scatter a few toasted flaked almonds over to decorate, if liked. Serve straight away.
