Banana pudding may just be the ultimate Southern dessert. At my parents’ home, my mother would never have dreamed of using instant pudding for her banana pudding. It was homemade. I, on the other hand, make banana pudding all the time, and I always use instant pudding. It’s still delicious.

If you want to give the from scratch kind a try, here’s an easy recipe.

Banana Pudding

1/2 cup sugar

3 tbsp flour

4 eggs, 3 of them separated

2 cups whole milk

½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Nabisco vanilla wafers

Five to six ripe bananas, sliced

Combine ½ cup of sugar and the flour in the top of a double boiler. Mix in 1 whole egg and 3 egg yolks. Stir in the milk. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until thick. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Let cool.

Cover bottom of a dish with a layer of vanilla wafers. Spread about 1/3 of the pudding over the wafers. Top with a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat layers, ending with the pudding. Top with whipped cream.
