I figured after the last several posts, we could all use a little cheering up. Nothing does it for me quite like comfort food. This is another one of those southern staples that so many have tried to re-create. Try as they may, they ALL fail miserably! I grew up eating this delectable concoction all through the year, not just picnic season. I hope you will enjoy it as well!
3/4 cup sugar
2 T. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla
box of vanilla wafers
6 medium bananas, sliced
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and salt in top of double boiler; stir in milk. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until thickened. Cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks, adding slowly to the hot mixture. Return to double boiler and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and add vanilla. Line the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart (or 9x13) with cookies. Top with bananas and custard. Continue layers, ending with custard on top. Beat egg whites stiff, not dry. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Pile on casserole. Bake at 425 for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm or chilled.
Hope y'all enjoy this as much as I do. Let me know if you like it. No other banana pudding-wannabes will be accepted after you eat this--I promise!
