No fear! I JUST ate some for you!


1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
7 cups milk
4 egg yolks, beaten
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 package (12-oz) vanilla wafers
9 ripe medium bananas, peeled & sliced

I went mainly off this, sorta...

As best as I can remember, this is what I did...

You mix the dry ingredients, and set aside,
then you heat the milk on med. until its about 150-160F
You then stir in the egg yolks, and dry ingredients.
You cook that on med for 10-15 min, stirring the whole time, until its fairly thick.
Then you remove from stove and mix in the butter and vanilla.
Then just layer that and the wafers and bananas however you like.
Refrigerate it an voila!
I crushed a banana into the hot custard while it was cooking.
I recommend putting lemon juice on the bananas

I hope its as good as you said...and that your recipe works. Never heard of putting vanilla wafers in pudding though.

Is Canada really THAT different?

You have to try it!

 

[Solid Snake]

Like this:

Surely youve had that? If you havnt, make it, right now...

 

[kinyonga]

Apparently not ;/

This is right:

What do you call banana pudding?

 

[kinyonga]

That's more like a triffle!
Looks very good though!
I'm so hungry now.

Mmmmm, thanks!
I must look more into these "triffles"...

 

[kinyonga]

They are really good and there is quite a variety of recipes for trifle too.

wait wait wait a flippin second here...

Kinyonga......No vanilla wafers in banana pudding? How the heck do you make yours? I seriously wont eat it if it doesnt have any vanilla wafers in it. Thats like eating cereal with no milk!

Snake..That has to be the most elaborate banana pudding recipe on the face of the planet. S E R I O U S L Y ! It better have been good LOL.

 

[Elizadolots]

Vanilla wafers are absolutely required for banana pudding, anyone who says they aren't hasn't had good banana pudding.

Snake...I tend to agree that was a bit elaborate...but I bet it tasted just amazing!

 

[panthercham]

A good trifle calls for sponge cake (similar to angel food cake in the US) to be soaked in rum, port, sherry or a good liquor left to soak for 24 hours and then layered with fresh cream, jello, vanilla custard and fresh fruit...traditional at any Aussie or English Christmas

Trifle and banana pudding both rock!

Oh man that looks good! I haven't had it with wafers either!!! I used to make banana pudding pie very similar.... Oh here come the cravings! I know what I am making tomorrow
