REAL "DOWN HOME" SOUTHERN BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• BANANA-WAFER PREPARATION:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the bananas crosswise into 1/4" thick round slices.
• In a large, oven safe bowl, or in an 8x8x2-inch pan or glass baking dish, line the bottom and sides with a layer of vanilla wafers.
• On top of the layer of wafers, place one layer of bananas. Repeat, alternating a layer of wafers and a layer of banana slices until the bowl or dish is filled to within 1/4 to 1/2-inch below the rim.
• THE FILLING:.
• Separate the eggs, being careful not to nick the yolks. Reserve the egg whites and set aside.
• Combine evaporated milk and water.
• In a large sauce pan, mix flour, sugar, and egg yolks until well blended.
• Mix in milk slowly, stirring constantly.
• Place pan on the range eye and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
• As soon as mixture reaches boiling point, reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly until desired thickness is achieved. Filling should be thick but pourable.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• Immediately pour over wafer-banana layers, jiggling the dish to ensure that filling covers all layers and there are no air pockets.
• THE MERINGUE:.
• TIP - If you do not have cream of tartar, you can use 1/2 tsp of lemon juice as a satisfactory substitute. 1/4 tsp lemon juice = 1/8 tsp cream of tartar.
• TIP - Cold egg whites will not yield as much volume as room temperature egg whites and will take longer to peak.
• Beat room-temperature egg whites with vanilla and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff and glossy peaks form and all sugar is dissolved.
• Spoon meringue over banana pudding, smoothing the top and sealing it to the edge of the bowl or baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until meringue is golden.
• Cool to room temperature or chill in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
• Banana pudding's flavor is best the day after it is made.
