What You'll Need
- 2 cup plus 5 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 cup milk
- 5 eggs, separated
- 1 whole egg
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (12-ounce) package vanilla wafers
- 4 bananas
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with vanilla wafers.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups sugar, flour, and salt. Add evaporated milk, milk, egg yolks, and the whole egg; stir well and place over medium heat. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until the custard is think and coats a spoon, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter and vanilla, stirring until the butter melts. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Slice bananas and place over vanilla wafers. Pour the custard over the bananas.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy; add remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over the custard in the baking dish, covering completely.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm, or allow to cool then cover and chill until ready to serve.
