January's recipe (Homemade Banana Pudding

Homemade Banana pudding

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs divided
3 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 box vanilla wafers
1 stick butter

Combine sugar and flour. Gradually add milk. Separate eggs and add egg yolks to mixture. Boil in double boiler on med/high heat (I use wrought iron skillet under pan) until thick . Add butter and continue cooking until mixture is thick as pudding. Take off heat and add vanilla flavoring. Make a layer in an oven proof bowl of 1 banana and then vanilla wafers. Add enough of pudding to cover. Add second layer of banana and wafers, then pour enough pudding to cover. Do this one more time and place wafers on top of pudding. Blend egg whites in mixer until it forms peaks, then add 2 1/2 tbs sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks. Place on top of pudding, put in oven and bake at 375 degrees until brown, about 10 min. Serve warm.
