Seriously....







I do make the best Banana Pudding on the planet.
Yes, its my Mothers recipe, but I am claiming it. Basic ingredients:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2tbl flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • stick of butter
  • vanilla 
mix sugar and flour well. Freta uses a double boiler, I just use a heavy Le Creuset pot. Add eggs, mix well, on LOW heat, start to stir in milk. This takes a while... you can turn the heat up a little but you have to keep stiring ( or use the double boiler) . It will start to thicken, slowly. Be careful when it does start to bubble, its HOT. Once it coats the back of the spoon well ( ten-ish min) turn off the heat. Add your stick of butter and vanilla. Let it cool a little.
Layer with Vanilla wafers and bananas, use a pretty glass bowl or trifle dish.  Mine is for a lot of people, so i used a roasting pan. ( which was not, really, was not , taken from Paul Spencer, it just LOOKS just like one that was.. and anyway it was a long time ago.. and.. well, thats all I'm saying)
Top with whipped cream/meringue/cool whip.
