Another Recipe ~ Traditional Banana Pudding :)

Traditional Banana Pudding

Supplies needed: Medium Stainless Steel pot (warmed),

Bowls, measuring utensils & cups, 9 x 14 Oven Proof Casserole Dish (or

whatever you have on hand), Mixer or Whisk (strong arm required so

Mixer is better).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Pudding:

2 Cups whole milk

2 Tablespoons softened butter

2 eggs, separated

1/8 Teaspoon salt

1/3 Cup flour

1 Cup sugar

1/3 Cup sugar (this is to be used for topping)

1 box of your favorite vanilla wafers

1 Teaspoon vanilla (add more according to your preference)

4 bananas

In a warmed stainless steel saucepan (make sure your burner isn't too high, medium heat is the best or it will scorch) put the butter, then sugar, then flour ~ add 2 the two egg yellows (beat them first), add milk and salt ~ whisk together in saucepan continually for approximately 10 minutes or so, watch closely so it doesn't scorch on the bottom ~whisk until the mixture reaches a custard like consistency, remove from heat once the custard reaches the right stage. Add vanilla (again use more or less according to your preference) stir until thoroughly combined with custard.

Line the bottom of the casserole dish with a layer of vanilla wafers, slice the bananas and put a layer of these on top of the vanilla wafers.

Add half of the custard mixture on top of the vanilla wafers and bananas, spread out ~ add another layer of vanilla wafers and sliced bananas then top with remainder of custard.

The Topping

:

Put 2 egg whites into the mixing bowl, start whipping the egg whites, slowly over a course of a few minutes add the 1/3 cup sugar, whip the whites & sugar till it reaches the "stiff peak" stage.

Add/spread the egg whites to the top of the pudding, making it as simple or as intricate as you like!

Place in oven for approximately 4 minutes to make the topping brown just a little bit, watch closely so it doesn't burn ~ like I said it only takes about 4 minutes! so it's very quick.

Spoon out and serve :) Enjoy!
