Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • dash of salt
  • 1 (13 oz. ) can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature, separated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • vanilla wafers
  • 3 to 4 bananas
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Preparation:

Melt butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water; stir in brown sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in milk and water; cook until thickened, stirring constantly (about 15 to 20 minutes). Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Quickly stir some of hot mixture into yolks; add to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook 2 minutes longer or until thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Cool. Line bottom and sides of a lightly greased 1 3/4-quart casserole with vanilla wafers. Slice bananas to cover bottom layer; top with half of pudding. Layer with more vanilla wafers, remaining banana slices and remaining pudding. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually beating in 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over pudding. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until top is brown. Posted on our forum by Karen.
