Ingredients

2 eggs, separated
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Grape-Nuts Cereal
3/4 cup thawed whipped topping
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Grate 1 tsp. lemon peel; cut lemon crosswise in half. Squeeze both halves to measure out 3 Tbsp. juice. Set aside. Beat margarine, sugar and lemon peel in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Blend in egg yolks. Add lemon juice and flour; mix well. Gradually add milk, mixing after each addition until well blended. Stir in cereal. (Mixture will look curdled, but this will not affect finished product.)

BAKE 1 hour or until top is golden brown and pudding begins to pull away from side of dish. (Pudding will have cake-like layer on top with custard layer below.) Serve warm or cold. Top each serving with 2 Tbsp. of the whipped topping just before serving.
