I made this banana pudding for the first time ever and this is real deal.

this was a disaster. the custard wasn’t enough and the egg white mixture didn’t foam up. I’m a novice at banana pudding so I needed a little more instruction.

I love some homemade banana pudding, mainly when Grandma makes it.

I love this recipe. It is sooo yummy. This is my first time making Banana pudding with flour and I probably wouldn’t do it again. I would switch out the flour for corn starch and double the recipe because this just doesn’t make enough the feed more then 3 people. But there then that it was great. It was easy (a little time consuming but pretty basic. I will definitely be using this recipe again.

It was easy to make but was pretty sweet and could not get it to thicken until my mother said to add corn starch. To bad..I was looking forward to a great pudding.

I lost the recipe I made when my son was little. He came home from school and asked me to make him some, I found this one. He could not tell the difference he loved it. The only thing is I double the recipe and add extra flour.
