Banana Pudding

Submitted by Petdrwife

"This from scratch banana pudding recipe is from a cookbook called Dining with Pioneers. This book has been well used in my house, so much so that most of the recipes I have transfered to recipe cards because the pages and book itself have become tattered with use."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 1 9X13 pan

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 12 ounces vanilla wafers
• 6 bananas

directions

1. Combine sugar, flour and salt in saucepan; Stir in milk and cook over medium heat until thick. (Be careful not to scortch pan).
2. Beat egg yolks, temper egg yolks by adding two tbsp of hot mixture to yolks then yolks to hot mixture.
3. Cook for 5 minutes; remove from heat, stir in vanilla.
4. In a 9x13 pan place a single layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom of the dish and up the sides.
5. Place banana slices over cookies, top with pudding and chill in refrigerator.
6. Before serving top with real whip cream. (Some people prefer meringue or cool whip which is fine but I think a 1/2 pt of heavy whip cream beat with 2 tbsp of sugar is the icing on the pudding).

This scratch pudding is a must for anyones table. Easy to assemble and the explosion of the sweetness and banana on the tastebuds is far beyond any instant pudding recipe. This is a keeper in my cookbook.
