NANNY'S SOUTHERN 'NANA PUDDIN'



Nanny's Southern 'Nana Puddin' image

I remember Nanny making this fast and easy pudding for us just like it was yesterday. It's a Southern staple in a Texas household and a must for any type of family gathering in the South. This recipe is so simple and easy you can't go wrong! Nanny's Tip: Make it in a cast iron skillet!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c milk
1 1/3 c sugar
3 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 Tbsp flour
2 or 3 bananas
1/2 box vanilla wafers cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Combine sugar & flour in skillet on medium high heat. Mix egg yolks and milk in bowl and beat well. Add egg mixture to the flour & sugar in pan and stir well constantly until mixture thickens and begins to boil.
  • 2. Remove pudding from the heat and add bananas. Mix together well. Line a glass dish large enough to hold the pudding mixture with 'Nilla wafers and pour pudding over the top of wafers (usually a 9 x 9 x 13" baking dish works well).
  • 3. Layer meringue topping over the pudding and smooth over the top of the pudding to each edge. My recipe for meringue topping is listed below.
  • 4. Place the dish under the oven broiler just until the meringue browns nicely.
  • 5. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving...if you have the patience!
  • 6. Meringue Topping: I use two large bowls for making my meringue, the bottom bowl I fill with about 3" of ice water, then I place the other bowl on top of the other to keep my egg whites chilled while I'm mixing them (metal or glass bowls work best for meringues). Place the egg whites in the bowl and mix on medium gradually adding up to 1 tbs of sugar (more or less according to your sweet tooth), until the eggs begin to form thick peaks. Keep adding sugar to taste and mixing until you have a thick meringue. Here is a great website for making the best meringue possible! http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/perfectmeringue.htm

REAL OLD-FASHIONED "NANNER PUDDIN"



Real Old-Fashioned

I got this recipe from a very nice lady from South Carolina. I tried it and it was absolutely wonderful. She said that the recipe was the original recipe that used to be printed on the Nilla Vanilla Wafer box. It originally called for a double boiler, but this method works just fine, as long as you stir constantly. It's a...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 c sugar
1/3 c all purpose flour
1 dash(es) salt
3 large egg yolks at room temperature (reserve whites)
2 c whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 box vanilla wafers
6 medium ripe bananas
MERINGUE:
3 large egg whites at room temperature
1/4 c sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
SPECIAL NOTE: THIS RECIPE DOUBLES WELL TO ACCOMODATE A 9 X 13 CASSEROLE DISH.

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar and flour and salt, mixing to remove any lumps in the flour. Add milk and cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  • 2. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks with fork and temper by adding a spoonful of the hot milk mixture and stir immediately. Repeat with about three more spoonfuls. Slowly pour tempered egg yolks into hot milk mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat for two minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and butter, set aside.
  • 3. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar while beating. Add cream of tartar and vanilla and continue beating just until vanilla is thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
  • 4. Assemble pudding by lining a casserole dish with a layer of vanilla wafers. Peel three of the bananas and slice over vanilla wafer layer. Pour 1/2 of the pudding over the bananas and smooth with spoon. Place a few vanilla wafers down the sides and on top of the pudding layer. Peel and slice the remaining bananas over pudding layer. Spoon the remainder of the pudding over bananas and smooth with spoon. Top with meringue and decorate by making small peaks with a spoon.
  • 5. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let sit at room temperature about one hour or until pudding is set. Enjoy!

NANNY'S BANANA PUDDING



Nanny's Banana Pudding image

This recipe dates back many years, and was my Texas grandmother's go to banana puddin recipe. She would make it for weddings, funerals, weekday supper or any pitch in meal. It was always a favorite of mine, although everything my Nanny Grier made was delicious and memorable! This is a classic southern 'nanna puddin' recipe,...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c milk
1 1/3 c sugar
3 eggs (separated)
1/4 Tbsp vanilla extract
4 flour
2-3 bananas, sliced
vanilla wafers cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Combine Sugar and Flour in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
  • 2. Mix egg yolks and milk in a bowl and beat well with a whisk. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  • 3. Add egg mixture to the flour and sugar mixture in the skillet and mix together well, at first using a whisk, then use a wooden spoon to keep stirring. Mix well, you want to get rid of lumps.
  • 4. Bring mixture to a boil, while constantly stirring. Bring heat down to medium, keep stirring well until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
  • 5. Add bananas to the pudding and stir well, careful to not break up your banana slices.
  • 6. Line the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 glass pan, or a glass bowl with nilla wafers.
  • 7. Pour mixture over the nilla wafers and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • 8. Begin making your meringue. I use a big bowl with about 3 " of ice water, then place my mixing bowl over the top to keep my egg whites cold while I beat them (I've had more luck this way, especially on a hot kitchen day)! Add egg whites to bowl and begin mixing them on medium high. Slowly add up to 2 tbs of sugar to the mixture, spinning the bowl to mix your egg whites until stiff peaks form. Your meringue is ready when you have the perfect taste of sweet and stiff enough it sticks to your spatula.
  • 9. Spread the meringue over the pudding and place under the broiler in your oven. Keep turning the pudding until you have a nice toasty, even glow on the meringue. Don't forget your oven mitts!
  • 10. Enjoy it right away, or let the pudding cool and place in the refrigerator to set before serving.
