Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup sugar

Preparation:

Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the salt, and the self-rising flour in a bowl.

Repeat layers, ending with remaining pudding. In a mixing bowl beat egg whites until foamy; gradually beat in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pudding. Bake at 350° until browned completely. Remove from oven. Serve hot or cold.

The One and ONLY Original Banana Pudding!!August 17, 2007By FavoredOne
"I have made this recipe over and over, and each time, it was a Huge Success!!!! I get rave reviews, and the very first time I made it, The Pudding disappeared very quickly! I have since then experimented with Allspice, Cinnamon & Nutmeg, and Pumpkin Pie Spice. All will give it a kick. Just be sure to use very sparingly; you don't want to over power the Vanilla and Banana Flavors. I will be making this Recipe for years to come."
