Well  everyone hope things are going well for all.  Today, my brother decided he was going to teach me how to make a Banana Pudding.  For some reason, he though it was very strange that I didn’t know how.  Actually, I just never made the attempt to make one and to be honest, I really had a dislike to bananas.  Yes you heard me had a dislike for bananas.

Well any who I decided to let him teach me what the heck I’m always game to learn something new when it comes to cooking that’s just how much I enjoy doing it.  So enough with all this yakking let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

4 egg yolks

2 cups milk

1/3 cup flour

Dash of salt

3/4 cup of sugar

1/2 Tsp Vanilla

Vanilla Wafers

5-6 Ripe Bananas

Add the flour, sugar and salt  into a double boiler slowly add the egg yolks and the milk.  Cook  over the boiling water stirring constantly  for about 10 minutes until the liquid starts to thicken.  After you remove from heat, add 1/2 tsp of vanilla.

Now that we have the pudding done, it’s time to start layering the bowl this part was really a lot of fun for me. Geez  I need a life .

 

Now the first thing we did was, add a light layer of pudding on the bottom of the bowl to help the wafers  stick then, so the layers would be wafers, bananas and pudding.  We just kept layering and layering until the bowl was full or, we ran out of pudding.

 

Now  we had the egg whites in a seperate bowl adding about 1/2 tsp of cream of tarter we started to whip the egg whites and  slowly adding in the sugar and beating until they formed a peak.

See that little bitty peak LOL well any way, that is what your egg whites are suppose to look like.  I am really getting hungry.

 

 When this is finished add the whipped egg whites on top of the pudding sealing all of the edges.

Using a spatula is the way to make the peaks, just lightly pat then lift up until you get some peaks.  That just seems hard to explain.  LOL but, the last thing you need to do is place the pudding in a very hot oven for like 2-3 minutes you really have to watch it or it will burn.  So, this is how I learned to make my first Banana Pudding.  Thanks to my brother Doug it worked out well.

Thanks Doug you are a saint no patience but a saint. LoL and for those of you that don’t know how to make a Banana Pudding don’t be scared like me cause, it was really really easy.  And always remember,

KEEP IT SIMPLE
