A great recipe for banana pudding?!
Answers:
Banana Pudding
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter (not margarine)
4 egg yolks (large eggs or better)
box of Vanilla wafers
4-5 ripe bananas
Meringue:
4 egg whites, at room temperature
5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375°F!.
Line the bottom of a 9" x 9" baking dish with a layer of vanilla wafers!. This recipe will not use the whole box, so you may snack, but don't get carried away!.
Peel the bananas and slice into 3/8-inch rounds; use a ruler (I'm kidding)!. Cover the banana slices with plastic wrap to keep them from darkening and quickly make your pudding!.
Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl, and stir well to mix!. Mash out any flour lumps with the back of your spoon!. Set aside!.
In a heavy saucepan, beat the egg yolks well (just use a fork or whisk, but beat them well)!. Over medium heat, add the flour mixture to the egg yolks, alternately with the milk and vanilla, stirring constantly!. Bring to a gentle boil and, when the mixture begins to thicken, add the butter, continuing to stir!. Keep boiling and stirring until mixture reaches a nice pudding consistency!. [Note: If you're working with an electric cooktop, adjust the heat so that it's hot enough to boil, but not so hot that the pudding scorches!.] Remove from heat!.
Place a layer of banana slices in the baking dish on top of the vanilla wafers!. Don't stint and put one slice of banana per wafer!. Line those banana slices up edge-to-edge!. Pour, spreading as necessary, half of the pudding over the banana layer!. Put down another layer of vanilla wafers, another layer of banana slices, and cover with the remaining pudding!.
Beat the egg whites at high speed until they form soft peaks!. Add the cream of tartar!. At high speed, gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form!. Fold the vanilla into the meringue, and spread the meringue over the pudding, sealing it at the sides of the dish!.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until meringue browns, 12 to 15 minutes, depending upon your oven!.
The size and shape of the baking dish are important!. If you don't have a 9" x 9" baking dish, you really should!. It's a handy size to have!. You can get this baking dish from Amazon by clicking here!. I've made this banana pudding in a round casserole dish, and it just doesn't turn out as well!. Another thing to wonder about!.
This recipe makes 6 or 8 servings, and you can count on people asking for seconds!. Any leftovers should be covered and refrigerated!. And, yes, it's hard to cover anything with a meringue top and anyway, banana pudding is not as attractive after it has been refrigerated!. But it's still just as delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The recipe annienyc_1120 posted above is the classic recipe for banana pudding and it's wonderful!. It's my husband and son's favorite dessert!.
You can substitute instant vanilla pudding for making your own!. My bachelor son does this!. It's works, but the end result is not as good!. When my son made this for us!. My husband said, "Mmmm, just like Mom's!." I didn't hit him!.
You can substitute ginger snaps or broken graham crackers for the vanilla wafers and get a great banana pudding!. If you don't want to make the meringue, you can top it with whipped cream!.
For me the classic, unadulterated recipe with meringue is perfect banana pudding!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
