[Kiriya Ubuyashiki]

Are you looking for a delicious and comforting dessert? This Southern Banana Pudding is a timeless classic that combines layers of creamy pudding, fresh bananas, and vanilla wafers. It's perfect for any occasion and will surely be a hit with everyone!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• A pinch of salt
• 4 cups milk
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 box vanilla wafers
• 5-6 ripe bananas, sliced
• 1/4 cup sugar (for meringue)

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar, flour, and salt.
• Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Return to heat and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Spread a thin layer of pudding in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Add a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat layers, ending with pudding on top.
• In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the pudding, sealing it to the edges of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
