Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons flour
Dash salt
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Vanilla cookies (recommended: Nilla Wafers)
4 bananas
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

Prepare a double boiler. Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, flour and salt. Add milk and mix again. Heat on stove until the custard sticks to the sides of pan, approximately 20 minutes. Add vanilla after mixture has thickened. Let cool.

To assemble: Put few drops of pudding in the bottom of a 2-quart dish and spread around. Layer Nilla Wafers and cut up 2 bananas, add 1/2 of custard, repeat layer and arrange wafers around the sides.

In a separate bowl beat egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar and cream of tartar until it forms stiff peaks, spread on pudding and bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 4 minutes, just brown on top.

Serve warm or cold.

It was easy to make but was pretty sweet and could not get it to thicken until my mother said to add corn starch. To bad..I... was looking forward to a great pudding.Read more

I lost the recipe I made when my son was little. He came home from school and asked me to make him some, I found this one. ... He could not tell the difference he loved it. The only thing is I double the recipe and add extra flour.Read more

Absolutely Delicious!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was just like my grandmother makes!! I LOVED it. I did follow the previous poster and added an extra tablespoon of... flour to the doubled batch. The only thing I would do differently next time would be to add a bit more flour to the custard mix. It was a tad runny, but had a great taste anyway. Banana pudding my husbands favorite dessert, and he was very pleased with this recipe!! THANKS!!Read more

Pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Based upon the feedback from others and my experience with other pudding recipes, I changed the flour to 2 Tblspn corn starch... and it thickened to the perfect consistency. For those who questioned how long to cook it, once it starts bubbling, cook it for one more minute to make sure the cornstarch is thoroughly cooked.Read more
