Bob isn't feeling real well and one of his favorites is banana pudding...........as is a favorite for all Southerners! I had bananas but no vanilla wafers. I ran to our two little country side stores and neither had vanilla wafers..........didn't want to drive all the way into town for vanilla wafers so decided to make my own! Wow.......they turned out just like the vanilla wafers we buy in the box. I was so proud........they are actually better........may never buy another box!
Vanilla Wafers:
Cream tog 1 cube of softened butter with 1/2 cup sugar. Mix well and then add 1 egg. After mixing well add 1 Tblsp milk and 4 tsp vanilla.
Now add your dry ingredients..........1 2/3 cup flour, 3/4 tsp baking powder and 1/2 kosher salt
Mix all this up real good and put in frig for 10 min.
Shape into tsp size balls and put about 35 on a cookie sheet and 35 on another cookie sheet. Take the heel of your hand and mash each one just a little........bake on two racks rotating the cookie sheets after 10 min.......then bake another 10 min....20 min altogether.....They are so cool.........
BANANA PUDDING
In about a 2 quart oven proof bowl........layer a layer of cookies with sliced bananas on top (about 1 1/2 bananas.......repeat this 3 times)
In a pan put 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 3 egg yolks (save the whites for meringue)
and a shot of salt.........whisk it all up and cook on med stirring all the time (if your stove runs a little hot........cook on med/low) til thick like pudding.............
Pour over the cookies and bananas.
In your mixer.......Mix the 3 egg whites til frothy........slowly add 1/4 cup sugar and beat til stiff peaks..........dollop this merinigue all over the pudding......seal up to the edges.......Bake 15 min at 325.........Cool on a rack.......can eat warm or after its cooled put in frig for awhile and serve cold........This is good old fashioned southern banana pudding............!
