"Parton's mother would begin by cooking a pudding of egg yolks, flour, sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan until thickened on the stovetop. She then layered the warm pudding with banana slices and vanilla wafers in a serveware, repeating the process lasagna style for a few layers before finishing with a topping of meringue. The meringue is made from the egg whites that were separated from the egg yolks used to make the pudding."
"Parton also bakes her mother's banana pudding in the oven for a few minutes so the peaks of the meringue get a little color. This adds caramelization and a nice toasty flavor. Parton has suggested that making and sharing her mother's banana pudding recipe can be a fun activity for the entire family. Her recipe also makes one large pudding but to make smaller portions, assemble the banana pudding in individual serving cups or glasses."
Dolly Parton loves classic Southern banana pudding prepared with ripe bananas, homemade butter, and farm milk. The pudding uses an egg-yolk custard cooked on the stovetop with flour, sugar, butter, and milk. Warm custard is layered lasagna-style with banana slices and vanilla wafers, then topped with meringue made from the reserved egg whites. Baking briefly browns the meringue peaks, adding caramelization and a toasty flavor. The recipe makes a large pudding but can be portioned into individual cups. Whipped cream from a can can substitute for meringue if desired.
