Banana Pudding

Banana Pudding

Story

This recipe is one that brings back a very happy childhood memory. When I was a little girl, every Sunday, I would cross the old country road that we lived down to join Mr and Mrs Freeman for lunch along with their 9 grandchildren. The Freemans didn't have much money but Sunday lunch at their house was so memorable. No matter what was cooked for lunch, whether it was basic Chicken and Rice or Ham and greens, lunch always ended with Mrs Freeman's delicious Banana Pudding. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I was a little girl!:)

Ingredients

Instructions

In a large glass bowl, beat egg yolks. Add the milk and continue beating. When smooth and bubbly on top, add 1 cup of the sugar and 3 tablespoons of the cornstarch. Beat until well combined.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and puncture a hole in top with a knife. Cook in microwave on HIGH for three minutes. Whisk and re-cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for another two minutes. Add vanilla and butter. Mix well and add banana slices.

MERINGUE

In another bowl, beat egg whites and add the remaining tablespoon cornstarch and the three tablespoons of sugar. Beat well until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the pudding mixture. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 6 to 8 minutes or until brown. When done, line pudding with vanilla wafers.
