Do not prepare bananas until the other ingredients have been prepared. Line a 8x10x3 baking dish with
the vanilla wafers, also lining the sides and then set aside. Beat the egg yolks in a cooking pot, adding
sugar and milk. Cook together. Add the flour, which has been mixed with a little cold water. Cook until
mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and let mixture cool. Slice half the bananas and place
on the dish lined with vanilla wafers. Pour enough of cooked mixture to cover the bananas. Put in another
layer of vanilla wafers, another layer of bananas and pour the rest of the cooked mixture over all. Make
sure all the bananas are covered, as it will prevent them from turning dark. Beat the egg whites until
stiff and frothy. Add three heaping Tablespoons sugar into the egg whites, while beating. Cover the pudding
with the beaten egg whites, put under the broiler until the eggs whites just start to brown. Serves approximately
8-10 people.
Note: By pre-cooking the pudding on top of the stove, you don't have the problem of burning it like you
do the oven-cooked type banana pudding. Also, the bananas don't get very hot, which helps to keep them
from deteriorating so fast.
