Homemade Banana Pudding

Daddy loves banana pudding.  We prefer the cold kind.  But Pappy loves the homemade kind with the homemade vanilla pudding. 

Homemade Banana Pudding

2 cups milk (I've used all kinds of milk varieties)
2 tbsp flour
4 egg yolk (save the whites)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Vanilla wafers (entire box)

3 ripe bananas, sliced

4 egg whites (from the yolks above)
1/4 cup sugar 

Heat milk, flour, yolks and sugar over medium heat in heavy duty pot. Whisk until combined. Bring to boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Meanwhile, pour a box of vanilla wafers into a 2 quart casserole dish (13x9) and top evenly with sliced bananas. Once the pudding as thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour pudding over the bananas and wafers. Set aside. In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pudding mixture and create swirls and peak using the back of your spoon. Broil in the oven for 30-60 seconds or until the peaks are golden brown. Cool completely or eat warm. Whichever your heart desires.

 

YUM!
