1/4 cup grape nuts

(Mixture will look curdled but will not affect the finished product). Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour in greased, 1qt baking dish; place the dish in a pan of hot water. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. When done, pudding has a cake-like layer on top with custard below.
