Granny's Banana Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 2-3 very ripe bananas, sliced
- ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp. sugar
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 eggs (separate yolks and whites)
- 3 cups milk
- ½ tsp. + ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- Dash of cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Arrange vanilla wafers and sliced bananas in your prettiest serving bowl. Fill to the top.
- In a medium pot, combine ¾ cup sugar, flour, egg yolks, and milk. Cook mixture over medium heat.
- When mixture begins to simmer, stir constantly for 6-8 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour pudding over cookies and bananas.
- For the meringue, beat egg whites and a dash of cream of tartar until glossy stiff peaks form. Slowly add in 2 tablespoons sugar and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Spoon meringue over pudding. Make it pretty!
- Place in oven until meringue is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve warm or cold – there is a huge debate in our family about which is better!
