Directions:
Mix 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in top of double boiler. Blend in 3 egg yolks and milk. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly for 10-12 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.

Reserve 10 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of custard on bottom of 1-1/2 quart casserole; cover with layer of wafers and layer of sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3 of custard over bananas. Continue to layer wafers, bananas, and custard to make a total of 3 layers of each, ending with custard.

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Spoon on top of custard, spreading to cover entire surface and sealing well to edges.

Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes or until browned. Cool slightly or refrigerate several hours until chilled. Top with reserved wafers. Makes 8 servings.
