Old-Fashioned Banana Pudding
Published: Friday, September 10, 2021
4 bananas, peeled and sliced
Vanilla wafers (about 50)
¾ c. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
¼ c. all-purpose flour
4 egg yolks
1 c. regular or 2% milk
1 ½ c. evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Meringue for pudding:
4 egg whites
½ c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
In a medium bowl, slice bananas and sprinkle with lemon juice to keep them from turning black.
In a 2-qt. casserole dish layer the vanilla wafers and bananas, going around the side of the bowl with the wafers.
In a saucepan mix together the sugar, salt, flour, egg yolks, regular milk and evaporated milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously with whisk, about 7-8 minutes until pudding thickens (will burn easily so be sure to stir). Remove from stove and stir in vanilla flavoring. Pour over wafers and bananas.
For meringue: Beat egg whites on high until stiff and peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and beat into egg whites. Spread over pudding and bake in 350° oven until nicely browned.
