Using more egg
whites
From: Carol
Gulczynski
I made the rice pudding by using four egg whites instead of 2 eggs. I
whipped the egg whites until they were stiff and then folded them into the ingredients. I
also used brown rice which has more fiber than white rice. The flavor was
excellent. I've never tasted rice pudding before so I can't tell compare it with the
"real " thing. But, I liked it.
