Decadent stovetop pudding over bananas and wafers, topped with fluffy meringue and baked to perfection. A cherished Southern recipe from my grandmother.
Ingredients:
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 6 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla wafer cookies
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3.5 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).
  • Create a layer of vanilla wafer cookies on the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Add a layer of banana slices on top. Repeat the layers until you fill the dish to the top or use up all the bananas. Set aside.
  • Combine the brown sugar and flour in a large saucepan, ensuring a smooth mixture. Add the egg and egg yolks, then gradually stir in the milk over low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. After removing from heat, let it cool for a minute. Pour the warm pudding over the layers of banana and cookie in the casserole dish evenly.
  • Whip egg whites in a clean bowl with an electric mixer until they form soft peaks. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the casserole using a spatula.
  • Bake in the oven until the meringue is golden brown, for about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
