This delicious recipe has been handed down from mother to daughter, and now you can try it at home!
Ingredients
| 2 c. plus 4 Tbsp. sugar | 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract |
| 4 Tbsp. flour | 4 bananas, sliced |
| 1 12-oz. can evaporated milk | 1 box vanilla wafers |
| 1 ½ c. regular milk | ¼ tsp. cream of tartar |
| 8 large eggs, separated |
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix 2 cups sugar and the flour in a 2½-quart saucepan (using no heat yet).
2. Add evaporated milk slowly, stirring to make sure all lumps are gone. Rinse can out with about half a can of water and add to mixture.
3. Add regular milk and stir well. Beat egg yolks well with a fork; add to milk mixture.
4. Place saucepan on stove at medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken and comes to a light boil, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
5. Layer the vanilla wafers flat on bottom of an oven-safe Pyrex dish, standing some up around the sides if desired, for looks. (You can also use smaller Pyrex dishes for individual servings.)
6. Spread banana slices evenly and pour pudding mixture on top.
7. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and 4 tablespoons sugar until meringue is stiff. Spread on top, making sure edges are sealed, and bake until peaks are golden brown, around 10 minutes.
Serves 8 to 10.
