Southern Banana Pudding
Sorry it has been a while since I have posted but I'm finally back from traveling. So yesterday I was craving banana pudding and I decided to make some. This recipe is quite simple and delicious! It's a great dish to take to a BBQ this summer...give it a try.
Serves 8-10
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
salt, dash
2 1/2 cups milk (2% or whole)
1, 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks (save the whites for the meringue)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
55 vanilla wafers
4 bananas, ripe but firm and sliced
Meringue:
4 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1. Combine flour and a dash of salt in a medium saucepan. Slowly stir in milk, condensed milk and 2 egg yolks.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and add the vanilla bean paste.
3. Arrange slices from 1 banana in a 2-quart baking dish. Spoon 1/3 pudding mixture over bananas and cover with about 20 vanilla wafers.
4. Repeat, then top with a third layer of pudding. Arrange remaining 15 vanilla wafers around the inside edge of dish, gently push into pudding.
5. Preheat oven 350 degrees.
6. Beat 4 egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add 1/4 cup sugar about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves, about 2-4 minutes.
7. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
If you have leftovers, refrigerate overnight. It's really yummy the next day.
