This is my mother's recipe. However, she was even more of a sweetaholic than me so I cut the sugar a little (but not much). It's still very sweet, but very good. If you were raised in the South, this will be a familiar dessert for you.
Ingredients:
1 12 oz. box vanilla wafers
3 ripe bananas (sliced)
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
3 eggs well beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 1/2 cups milk (i used 2% milk)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Lay vanilla wafers and sliced bananas in large bowl.
2. Blend all other ingredients in large heavy sauce pan.
3. Take whisk and blend well.
4. Heat well over low - medium heat until mixture thickens.
5. When hot and thick pour over vanilla wafers.
6. Let cool and keep refrigerated.
7. Key to this recipe: Keep stirring the pot so that the pudding does not lump.
8. Enjoy!
