I have been making this pudding for almost 50 years now. It's a favorite at potluck suppers or family get-togethers. I hope you and your family will enjoy it too.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Tbsp flour
1/2 c sugar
3 egg yolks, reserve whites
1 egg (yolk and white)
2 c milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 egg whites
1/4 c sugar
2 large bananas (not too green)
20 vanilla wafers

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • 2. In top of double boiler, combine: 3 Tbsp. flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 egg yolks, 1 egg.
  • 3. Add 2 cups milk.
  • 4. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes, until custard is the consistency of pudding.
  • 5. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla, stirring into hot custard.
  • 6. In a round 1-quart casserole dish, layer the following: 1/3 custard, 10 vanilla wafers spread evenly, sliced banana spread evenly, 1/3 custard, 10 vanilla wafers, sliced banana, and 1/3 custard. Note: Use two large medium-ripe bananas, not too green.
  • 7. Using an electric mixer, beat the 3 egg whites until frothy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until mixture forms soft peaks.
  • 8. Spoon the mixture on top of the custard, taking care to spread the mixture all the way to the edges of the dish to keep meringue from shrinking.

  • 10. Remove from oven and serve warm or let cool. This may be refrigerated, but bananas may turn dark when chilled.
