Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly.
Temper Egg Yolks: Beat egg yolks slightly. Gradually stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the yolks. Then, add the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Layer Wafers and Bananas: In a serving dish, layer vanilla wafers, followed by slices of banana, and then the pudding. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Top Pudding: Spread the meringue over the pudding, sealing the edges.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
Cool and Serve: Let the pudding cool for a bit before serving. It can be served warm or chilled, with optional whipped cream on top.
Enjoy your Banana Pudding, a deliciously comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
