OK, this is true banana pudding---the kind that is stirred and stirred and stirred until the custard forms. Real Homemade Banana Pudding is NOT and I repeat NOT made with Jello pudding. It is NOT made with cool whip! It is cooked and stirred and stirred and stirred. This is the way my maw maw and my mom made it and now it's the way that this Nana makes it. So, after you taste this recipe, you will know the next time you go into a restaurant and they are advertising "real homemade banana pudding"..you will know if it's really homemade or not :)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup flour
dash salt
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 cup milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box of Nilla Wafers
5 ripe bananas
Mix flour, sugar, and salt in top of double boiler. Blend in egg yolks, milks.
cook uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly for about 15-20 minutes. NOTE: You can use a regular boiler and not a double boiler but you have to stir constantly and make sure it doesn't stick on bottom because that would ruin the custard completely.
Continue to stir until custard thickens
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour vanilla wafers into a large bowl, reserving some for the topping.
Slice bananas and mix with wafers.
Pour custard over allowing to fill in between the wafers and bananas.
Crush remaining wafers for the topping or you can make meringue with the egg whites that are left over. My children never liked meringue, they wanted the wafers instead.:)
Serve warm or chilled. (i like it warm!!)
