Real Old Fashioned Nanner Puddin Recipes

SOUTHERN BANANA PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Separate 3 eggs, set the whites aside for later use in the meringue.
• Add 3 cups of milk to a medium saucepan. Place over LOW heat on your stovetop.
• Slowly add flour, whisking continually to avoid lumps.
• Slowly stir in 1/2 cup of sugar, whisking continually until fully dissolved.
• Use a fork and break up the egg yolks.
• Slowly add the egg yolks to the saucepan, whisking continually to avoid making scrambled eggs. It's very important to stay with the cooking process at this point. Keep stirring.
• Increase the heat gradually up to about medium as you constantly whisk the pudding mixture.
• Using a candy thermometer, bring the mixture up to 170 degrees. Continue to stir it constantly as it thickens. When it reaches 170 degrees, remove from heat but continue to stir.
• Add the teaspoon of Vanilla Extract and continue to stir off and on as it cools down. The mixture must cool down before you begin to assemble the banana pudding.
• When fairly cool, spread a light layer of the pudding in a casserole dish.
• Add a layer of Vanilla Wafers. Reserve about 5 or 6 wafers for topping later.
• Add a layer of sliced bananas.
• Add a layer of pudding mixture, spreading it out to the edges of the dish.
• Repeat the layer process as needed, ending with a layer of the pudding mixture on top.
• Crumble the 5 or 6 reserved wafers and sprinkle on top. If not adding the meringue, bake this at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Let cool and serve. Hopefully you'll try the meringue.

GRANNY'S NANA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a chilled bowl, with chilled beaters, beat the cream and confectioners' sugar together until soft peaks.
• Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, half-and-half, sour cream and the salt in a large bowl.
• Reserve 4 to 6 cookies for garnish and layer half of the remaining cookies among the bottom of 4 to 6 16-ounce serving dishes (or mason jars), or in a trifle bowl (or other large glass serving dish). Next, drizzle half of the caramel over the cookies, then a layer of half the bananas, then half the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients. Top with the whipped cream and a butter cookie or cookies. Serve or chill up to overnight.
