BANANA PUDDING FROM SCRATCH

I am a BIG banana-pudding lover, and I really enjoyed this receipe.
This is just like what my mom made many years ago. I followed the recipe and it turned out great. It thickened just like it is supposed to.

As usual after that i maked this flavorful “BANANA PUDDING FROM SCRATCH” i send it first to all of my followers on My pinterest Account to try it first
and these was some of their rich reviews, opinions, suggestions and great recommendations:

sasha :I love LOVE this recipe. Its delicious. The only thing I do different is use just the egg yolks and I cook on medium heat until pudding thickens. I’ve made this for cook outs and its always a hit! Sooooo good!

pauline : Delicious!! Just like my Grandmother’s! I use the ingredients exactly as stated. If your pudding is runny, you need to cook it longer. If your pudding is really runny when you remove it from the pan, it will also be runny when you serve it. You will know when you see the change in constitency of your pudding that it’s ready to take off the heat. Enjoy, this is a GREAT recipe!!

lily : Made this for a friend’s birthday as it is her favorite dessert. Turned out great! I upped the vanilla, used three bananas, only egg whites, and almost a whole box of vanilla wafers, but I followed everything else as written. Had no problems with runniness, stickiness, etc. I think the trick may be to stir (constantly) with a whisk so that air gets in to the pudding, preventing lumps and allowing it to cool more evenly.

debbie : I liked how the easiness of this recipe. And, maybe the egg whites may complicate the smooth texture of this recipe. But, using 3 eggs, is less expensive than using 6 egg yolks. The other change I made to this recipe is that I ran the milk and 2 bananas through the blender and the highest speed. Then I added this mixture to the other ingredients. Not only did it help use up more bananas, which I have plenty of, but it added more banana flavor. I like the genuine banana flavor as opposed to the fake banana flavor derived from the boxed recipes. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. It does remind me of my grandparents. They made do with what they had on hand while living as economically as possible.
