NANNY'S BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Combine Sugar and Flour in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
• 2. Mix egg yolks and milk in a bowl and beat well with a whisk. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
• 3. Add egg mixture to the flour and sugar mixture in the skillet and mix together well, at first using a whisk, then use a wooden spoon to keep stirring. Mix well, you want to get rid of lumps.
• 4. Bring mixture to a boil, while constantly stirring. Bring heat down to medium, keep stirring well until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
• 5. Add bananas to the pudding and stir well, careful to not break up your banana slices.
• 6. Line the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 glass pan, or a glass bowl with nilla wafers.
• 7. Pour mixture over the nilla wafers and spread evenly with a spatula.
• 8. Begin making your meringue. I use a big bowl with about 3 " of ice water, then place my mixing bowl over the top to keep my egg whites cold while I beat them (I've had more luck this way, especially on a hot kitchen day)! Add egg whites to bowl and begin mixing them on medium high. Slowly add up to 2 tbs of sugar to the mixture, spinning the bowl to mix your egg whites until stiff peaks form. Your meringue is ready when you have the perfect taste of sweet and stiff enough it sticks to your spatula.
• 9. Spread the meringue over the pudding and place under the broiler in your oven. Keep turning the pudding until you have a nice toasty, even glow on the meringue. Don't forget your oven mitts!
• 10. Enjoy it right away, or let the pudding cool and place in the refrigerator to set before serving.

MAMA DAISY'S BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a 3-quart heavy saucepan on low heat, add sugar, flour and salt. Pour in the evaporated milk and stir constantly. The mixture will thicken slowly, about 15 minutes.
• Lightly beat the egg yolks in a medium size bowl. Add a ladleful of the thickened milk mixture to the eggs and whisk, to temper the eggs. Add the egg mixture into the saucepan and continue to whisk and cook until incorporated, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and the vanilla extract. Place the pudding into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool in refrigerator for 2 1/2 hours.
• Into a large bowl or trifle dish, add a layer of vanilla wafers, a layer of sliced bananas, and top with pudding. Add the whipped cream and then repeat the layers. Garnish with crumbled cookies on top.

NANNY'S SOUTHERN 'NANA PUDDIN'

Steps:

• 1. Combine sugar & flour in skillet on medium high heat. Mix egg yolks and milk in bowl and beat well. Add egg mixture to the flour & sugar in pan and stir well constantly until mixture thickens and begins to boil.
• 2. Remove pudding from the heat and add bananas. Mix together well. Line a glass dish large enough to hold the pudding mixture with 'Nilla wafers and pour pudding over the top of wafers (usually a 9 x 9 x 13" baking dish works well).
• 3. Layer meringue topping over the pudding and smooth over the top of the pudding to each edge. My recipe for meringue topping is listed below.
• 4. Place the dish under the oven broiler just until the meringue browns nicely.
• 5. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving...if you have the patience!
• 6. Meringue Topping: I use two large bowls for making my meringue, the bottom bowl I fill with about 3" of ice water, then I place the other bowl on top of the other to keep my egg whites chilled while I'm mixing them (metal or glass bowls work best for meringues). Place the egg whites in the bowl and mix on medium gradually adding up to 1 tbs of sugar (more or less according to your sweet tooth), until the eggs begin to form thick peaks. Keep adding sugar to taste and mixing until you have a thick meringue. Here is a great website for making the best meringue possible! http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/perfectmeringue.htm
