Best Old Fashioned Cooked Banana Pudding Recipes

OLD FASHIONED BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, slice bananas and sprinkle with lemon juice to keep them from turning black. In a 2 quart casserole dish layer the vanilla wafers and bananas. (I use 10 of the wafers to go around the side of the bowl just because I think it is pretty this way). In a saucepan on top of the stove with a whisk mix together the sugar, salt, flour, egg yolks, regular and evaporated milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously with whisk, about 7 or 8 minutes until thickens. (It will burn very easily so be sure to stir) Remove from stove and stir in vanilla flavoring. Pour over wafers and bananas.

Steps:

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla.
• Layer half of vanilla wafers in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with half of banana slices and half of pudding. Repeat procedure with remaining wafers, banana slices, and pudding.
• Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add 3 Tbsp. sugar, beating until sugar dissolves and stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Spread meringue over pudding, sealing to edge of dish.

OLD-FASHIONED COOKED BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Separate yolks, set aside for meringue. Be SURE you don't get ANY yolk in the whites! The meringue won't come to a peak, or get stiff if you do.
• 2. Place all of the pudding ingredients except vanilla and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a low boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. When it starts boiling add vanilla and butter. Continue stirring for 3 minutes. Take off heat. Set aside to cool.
• 3. While the pudding is cooling, beat egg whites with an electric mixer, adding sugar slowly while mixing. Beat until stiff enough to form peaks. Test by lifting beaters from meringue, if it forms peaks then it is ready. NOTE: You can substitute whipped topping in place of the meringue, but you'll need to let the pudding cool longer so the whipped topping won't melt. (And you'll omit the broiling, if you use the whipped topping instead of meringue.)
• 4. Line an ovenproof dish with vanilla wafers and sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3 of pudding over this. Continue to layer these ingredients until they are all used.
• 5. Spread meringue (or whipped topping) over the layers, and form peaks with a spoon by swirling the spoon in the meringue and lifting quickly. Place in oven and broil for about 1 & 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until meringue is slightly browned. OMIT broiling if you use whipped topping. Sprinkle with crushed wafers, if desired, and serve now or cool and serve later. Another one of those - some like it hot, some like it cold things!

OLD FASHIONED BANANA PUDDING RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Separate 3 eggs, set the whites aside for later use in the meringue. Break up yolks with a fork and set aside. Add 3 cups of whole milk to a saucepan. Over low heat, slowly add the flour, whisking very rapidly to dissolve any lumps. Then stir in sugar continuing to whisk until that dissolves. Next, slowly add the egg yolks to the saucepan, whisking rapidly and continually to avoid making scrambled eggs. Make sure you do not add them too quickly or they will cook and curdle and don't walk away or the mixture will scorch. Keep stirring. Increase the heat gradually up to about medium as you constantly whisk the pudding mixture. Continue to stir it constantly as it thickens. When it has thickened enough to look like pudding, remove from heat, add the teaspoon of vanilla and continue to stir as it cools down. Set aside to cool. When custard has cooled down, spread a light layer of the pudding in a casserole dish. Add a layer of Vanilla Wafers. Reserve about 5 or 6 wafers for topping later. Add a layer of sliced bananas. Add a layer of pudding mixture, spreading it out to the edges of the dish. Repeat the layer process as needed, ending with a layer of the pudding on top. Crumble the 5 or 6 reserved wafers and sprinkle on top. Make the meringue. Meringue Place the room temperature egg whites in a glass or metal mixing bowl. Using a mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until they appear frothy in texture. Add about 1/8th teaspoon of Cream of Tartar. Increase mixer speed and beat until the egg whites form soft peaks. Add the sugar. Continue to whip, increasing speed as needed until the egg whites thicken and form firm peaks. Do not over work the egg whites as it will cause them to lose volume. Use a spatula and gently spread the meringue over the pudding mixture. Gently dab the spatula up and down in the meringue to form small swirls and peaks. Place the dish in the preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Watch it carefully so the egg white meringue doesn't burn. It just needs to be slightly toasted and browned. Remove from oven, let cool, refrigerate until cold then serve. Enjoy!
