Banana Pudding
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter (not margarine)
4 egg yolks (large eggs or better)
box of Vanilla wafers
4-5 ripe bananas

4 egg whites, at room temperature
5 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Baking Tip
The size and shape of the baking dish are important.
If you don't have a 9" x 9" baking dish, you really should. It's a handy size to have. You can get this baking dish from Amazon by clicking here. I've made this banana pudding in a round casserole dish, and it just doesn't turn out as well.

Recipe: Molasses banana bread
Line the bottom of a 9" x 9" baking dish with a layer of vanilla wafers. This recipe will not use the whole box, so you may snack, but don't get carried away.
Peel the bananas and slice into 3/8-inch rounds; use a ruler (I'm kidding). Cover the banana slices with plastic wrap to keep them from darkening and quickly make your pudding.
Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl, and stir well to mix. Mash out any flour lumps with the back of your spoon. Set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, beat the egg yolks well (just use a fork or whisk, but beat them well). Over medium heat, add the flour mixture to the egg yolks, alternately with the milk and vanilla, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil and, when the mixture begins to thicken, add the butter, continuing to stir. Keep boiling and stirring until mixture reaches a nice pudding consistency. [Note: If you're working with an electric cooktop, adjust the heat so that it's hot enough to boil, but not so hot that the pudding scorches.] Remove from heat.
Place a layer of banana slices in the baking dish on top of the vanilla wafers. Don't stint and put one slice of banana per wafer. Line those banana slices up edge-to-edge. Pour, spreading as necessary, half of the pudding over the banana layer. Put down another layer of vanilla wafers, another layer of banana slices, and cover with the remaining pudding.
Beat the egg whites at high speed until they form soft peaks. Add the cream of tartar. At high speed, gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the vanilla into the meringue, and spread the meringue over the pudding, sealing it at the sides of the dish.
Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until meringue browns, 12 to 15 minutes, depending upon your oven.

This is the BEST -- You'll never want to use another recipe!
1/2 cup plus 2 tbl Sugar
1/4 cup Cornstarch
1/8 tsp Salt
5 large Egg Yolks
2 cups Whole Milk
1/2 cup Evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbl Butter
3 medium bananas, sliced (1in) and quartered
1 pt.Whipping Cream
Directions:
Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a medium saucepan. Add the yolks, then immediately, but gradually, whisk in the milk and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently at first, then constantly as the mixture starts to thicken and begins to simmer (8-10 minutes). Once the mixture simmers, continue to cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; whisk in the butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent "skin" from forming and refrigerate until warm (20 - 30 mins.)
At this point, you can pour this into a pastry shell with your cut up bananas (I like to spoon a thin layer of pudding into the pie shell, then sprinkle on the banana chunks, and finally cover with the rest of the pudding.
I also do the same thing without a pie crust --placing it in dessert cups, parfait glasses, etc. Top with lightly (the pudding is sweet enough) sweetened whipped cream.
Enjoy!
