Truly Homemade Banana Pudding

"One of those recipes that have been passed down through the generations... this is a lot of work, but SO worth it... Edit to this recipe: I should say that this is one of those "until it looks right" recipes. You want the pudding thick and you may have to cook, stir, cook, you will want to stir constantly and it will be hard to stir. You also might want to refrigerate it overnight if it needs to thicken (this also makes the cookies a little mushy which I LOVE)"

  1. 3 cups of sugar was extremely to much! It didn't turn out right at all and the instructions was not clear to use egg yolks only. When I tasted it, it tasted like pudding but full of sugar. My family would have been in a diabetic coma had I served that. This was not a good recipe in my opinion
     
  2. It was a reasonably good pudding, but I think it could have been richer--maybe more egg to milk ratio. My teenagers thought it was "diet" pudding. I cut the recipe in half (half a recipe made 4 cups) and used butter rather than margarine.
     
  3. we made this a coulpe a days ago it turn out great we loved it.I liked it better warm, but he liked it better cold. It was easy to do, an we did it together, an we had fun doing it with each other. An the other thing about it its not to sweet like most puddings are.
