MOTHER'S REAL SOUTHERN HOMEMADE
BANANA PUDDING

This is the way old fashioned banana pudding was made. We were raised in southern Mississippi, and did not use "instant" anything. If you want the best tasting banana pudding, then the half hour it takes to make this pudding is well worth the effort and time. "Instant" puddings can't hold a candle to this, and time saving progress has taken the flavor out of home cooking.

1 box or bag of vanilla wafers
4 or 5 ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
2 heaping tbsp. cornstarch
2 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs
2 tbsp. vanilla flavoring
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 cups whole milk

In a deep casserole dish, make layers of vanilla wafers and sliced bananas, beginning with vanilla wafers and ending with bananas. Set aside.

In a medium size sauce pan, combine sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Mix well. Add 2 egg yolks, mixing well, and the 2 whole eggs, beating until smooth. Add vanilla flavoring and mix well. Place on medium low heat and slowly pour in combined milks, stirring constantly and blend completely. Continue stirring while mixture cooks and thickens. Stirring keeps the pudding from sticking to bottom of pan and scorching, and also reduces the chance of clumps in pudding.

Cook the pudding, stirring the whole time, until it thickens but is still thin enough to pour. Pour pudding over the layered wafers and sliced bananas.

MERINGUE TOPPING:

2 egg whites
2 tbsp. sugar

Whip room temperature egg whites until frothy. Continue beating while adding 2 tablespoons sugar, and whites form stiff peaks. Spoon stiff egg whites on top of pudding, making sure that they touch the sides of the bowl. You can sprinkle sugar on top if desired. Place in oven broiler with door open (watch carefully) and brown on top. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
