Ingredients
250 g white sugar
60 g all-purpose flour
0.5 tsp salt
4 large eggs, separated
480 ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
15 g butter
1 (340 g) package vanilla wafers
4 medium bananas, sliced
0.25 tsp cream of tartar
75 g white sugar
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 2
To make the pudding, combine sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. Set aside the egg whites for the meringue.
Step 3
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, beat the egg yolks. Add the sugar mixture alternately with milk and vanilla, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened (about 10 minutes). Add butter and continue stirring until thickened to a pudding-like consistency (about 12 minutes).
Step 4
Line the bottom of a baking dish with half of the wafers. Layer half of the banana slices over the wafers and cover with half of the pudding. Repeat the layers once more.
Step 5
To make the meringue, beat the reserved egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, gradually adding cream of tartar, until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla. Spoon the meringue over the pudding.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue browns (15 to 20 minutes). Let it cool before serving.
