Directions: |
Directions: Separate the eggs. Set the whites aside to come to room temperature for meringue.
Beat the yolks
Set the whites aside
In a medium sauce pan combine sugar, flour, salt, and milk
Bring to a boil for one minute stirring constantly
Put 1/3 of the hot mixture in with the yolks and stir well
Put the yolk mixture in the sauce pan and return to a boil for one minute
Remove from heat
Add the butter and vanilla, stir well
Line a casserole dish with vanilla wafers, including the sides (You can use any configuration of dish as long as it will hold @2.5-3 quarts. I had an old 3 quart. Corning ware casserole dish that was perfect)
Slice the bananas over the cookies (I use the bananas to hold up the cookies on the sides)
Pour the hot pudding over the bananas evenly
Set aside
Topping Options
Whipped cream (my recipe is in this section or Cool Whip works too)
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature or if you like it cold, refrigerate it.
Cover with whipped cream and serve
You can shave some chocolate over the top for a nice look
Meringue
Beat the egg whites with salt until frothy
Add Ό t cream of tartar and Ό t vanilla. Beat until you have soft peaks
Add ½ cup sugar and beat on high until stiff peaks form
Spread the meringue on the pudding, pulling up nice peaks (no need to cool first)
Bake at 425Ί until light brown
Remove and serve warm, or allow to come to room temperature

Notes: It is uncertain if this was Mamas recipe or Aunt Beths. Im going with Mama since I remember eating this in her kitchen in Texas when I was a little girl. There was always a HUGE meal at mid-day with all of the farm hands present. Loved those meals!!
Sandra likes to add pineapple chunks along with the bananas.
Some like to mix the cookies in with the pudding, instead of having the bottom layer.
If you use whipped cream, save the egg whites for an omelet! Whisk them with a couple of tablespoons of milk, salt, and pepper. Asparagus, mushrooms, or artichokes and a nice white cheese go well for the filling. Waste Not!
