Ingredients
Pudding:
-
1 cup white sugar
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
4 large eggs, separated, divided
-
2 cups milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, divided
-
4 medium bananas, sliced, or more to taste
Meringue:
-
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
-
5 tablespoons white sugar
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Make the pudding: Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. Set egg whites aside for meringue.
-
Beat egg yolks in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar mixture alternately with milk and vanilla, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add butter; continue stirring until thickened to a pudding-like consistency, 5 to 7 minutes more.
-
Line the bottom of a baking dish with 1/2 of the wafers. Layer 1/2 of the banana slices over wafers and cover with 1/2 of the pudding. Repeat layers once more.
-
Make the meringue: Beat reserved egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, gradually adding cream of tartar, until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla. Spoon meringue over pudding.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until meringue browns, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving.
