GRANDMA'S BANANA PUDDING



Grandma's Banana Pudding image

My grandma ran a country club and a restaurant in her day. She can make amazing food, but sometimes it's hard to get a recipe from her because she doesn't measure anything and makes everything from memory. While letting her talk it out, I was able to get this banana pudding and a few other recipes written down. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups skim milk
3 large eggs, whites and eggs separated
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (11 oz.) box vanilla wafers
4 medium bananas, sliced
6 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425.

Tips for Making Grandma's Banana Pudding

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. The pudding should be thick and creamy, but not too thick or rubbery. Cook it just until it reaches a simmer, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  • Use a good quality vanilla extract. The vanilla extract is one of the key flavorings in banana pudding, so be sure to use a good quality extract that has a strong flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the whipped cream. The whipped cream is the crowning glory of banana pudding, so be sure to use plenty of it. You can make your own whipped cream or use store-bought whipped cream.
  • Serve the pudding cold. Banana pudding is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.

Conclusion

Grandma's banana pudding is a classic Southern dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is a simple but delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a family dinner, a potluck, or a special occasion, Grandma's banana pudding is sure to be a hit.
