Baanana Pudding
OK, over the last couple of years I have become rather proficient in butt &
beans (real smoked beans, none of the BBQ place I visit in the south seem to do this), but I've realized I am missing a key item of the BBQ troika. I had some of the best damn BP in my life the other day and I realized this egregious omission in my manu. Anyone have a fav BP recipe? Something more then boxed pudding glopped on some vanilla wafers - I know there isn't much more than that but what I had the other day was so damn good it has me wondering. Thanks. __________________________________________________ _______________ JG... Jeff Givens "My hovercraft is full of eels." |

Jeff, I don't have the recipe, but Barbecue Lodge in (several locations)
Raleigh has it warm and fresh. While living in NC, I learned that there's a state law that requires all barbecue places to offer banana pudding, under penalty of hanging. That, and cole slaw for on top the pulled pork sandwich are two requirements for a decent meal.

My guess is that they make it with sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream instead of just whole milk. It makes it much creamier and nicer: a.. 1 large pkg instant vanilla pudding, (6 ounces) b.. 2 1/2 cups cold milk c.. 1 can sweetened condensed milk, (14 ounces) d.. 1 container whipped topping, (16 ounces) e.. sliced bananas f.. vanilla wafer cookies Mix pudding and milk; add condensed milk. Blend well; fold in half the whipped topping. Alternate layers of pudding, bananas and vanilla wafers; top with remaining whipped topping and a few banana slices. Refrigerate overnight before serving. I"ve also heard of people using cream cheese to make it richer, but I've not tried this recipe: a.. 1 large box of instant vanilla pudding mix b.. 1 (8oz.) soft cream cheese, at room temperature c.. 1 large can of sweetened condensed milk d.. 1 extra large whipped topping e.. 2 large boxes of vanilla wafers cookies f.. 10 large bananas Prepare pudding, as to box, with mixer then set aside. Next blend cream cheese in another bowl, add milk and blend well. Then you can add your pudding to the cream cheese mixture and mix well. Then you are ready to add cool whip, you want to fold this in, but do not mix. Layer the bottom of serving bowl with wafers, then bananas, and then pudding, and repeat, several times over. Chill for at least two hours. |

Jeff - Working on locating my grandmother's recipe for you. Her's was one that you cooked. I've made it a few times and I really like it. I think she "tinkered" with it and what she actually did isn't exactly what is written down, but I will find that tonight and post it for you, if you are interested in one more than just boxed pudding. Don't get me wrong, I like those too! Sometime's Nan's (that's what I called her) is just better! B-Worthey |

"Jeff Givens" > wrote in message > I'd appreciate that B-Worthy, I am all-mouth. Here's my grandmother's BP recipe: 1 stick butter - melted 2 cups sugar 3 egg yolks, beaten 2 tbls. self rising flour 1 tsp. vanilla 2 cups milk bananas vanilla wafers Mix together sugar and flour, add butter and egg yolks, mixing well. Add milk & vanilla, put over low heat (obviously you have this in a pot of some sort) & cook until it thickens. Pour over your layered bananas and vanilla wafers. That's as it is written, I think my mom has said that she actually she didn't use a full two cups of sugar, it was probably more like a cup and a half, but I haven't played with it much to experiment. If you try it let me know what you think. B-Worthey |

I made a custard but used quite a bit more flour although no butter and a little less sugar and vanilla. I also made a meringue as that's what I remember having as a kid. Turned out pretty good - is starting to get the taste I am looking for. I think the custard is the key - the boxed pudding is probably just too bland. I like the idea of the butter stick (more fat!) - I will try that on the next iteration. With the meringue I had a lot of water collect on the meringue and under it. When I cut out a piece a bunch of water would ooze out. I think this is because I put on the meringue while it was hot. I will let the next one cool first. I also will try a little cinnamon or nutmeg. A spice would probably work well as the custard is hot. __________________________________________________ _______________ JG...

I did not mention meringue as my mom, who wrote the recipe down from her mom, left that out because she hates meringue. I can take it or leave it. Anyway, hope you like it or hope you find the BP recipe you are looking for! B-Worthey |

I also made a meringue as that's what I remember > having as a kid. My wife and I have made pudding in the past ala Betty Crocker. We used corn starch instead of flour. Her's was always better because she would stand forever stirring. I just turned the burner on high to get it boiling now. We found using half-and-half to actually have a better flavor than pure cream. Both were richer than milk. I prefer whipped cream to meringue on banana or chocolate pudding/pies. I have a thunder stick can can make small batches very quickly (-10 seconds). Good luck, Steve |

My mother's recipe for banana pudding has always been a good one. My wife makes it, and everyone just raves about it. MUCH better than anything using boxed mixes or canned pudding. (Sorry, Big Jim. INGREDIENTS: Sugar, 1 cup 6 tbsp flour 4 eggs, separated 2 cups milk (whole milk, preferably) 6 tbsp butter 2 tsp vanilla extract Vanilla wafers Bananas Sugar, 9 tsp (for meringue) PREPARATION: Sift together sugar and flour, add to beaten egg yolks. Add milk, stir well. Cook over low heat in a double boiler until thickened. Add butter and vanilla. Line bottom of baking dish with wafers, put a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of custard. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up. Top with meringue of stiffly-beaten egg whites and remaining sugar. Brown in 350? oven. (If you like, you can leave off the meringue, but it does make a nice presentation, if nothing else.) Stan -- Stan Marks A waist is a terrible thing to mind. |

The common variations are butter, how much butter, no butter and the amount of flour. Other variations are substitution of cream and/or cream cheese. I have made two now with decent results. The first was a basic custard, heavy on flour. The second was the same with 1/2 stick of butter. I also added some cinnamon and nutmeg. This, while totally non-traditional, was a pleasant surprise. I think the next will be using a cream substitute and less cinnamon/nutmeg. After that I will try some cream cheese. The meringue is a real problem. It is weeping and oozing a ton and causing a lot of liquid to collect in the BP. I may have to abandon this and go naked, saving whipped cream for serving only. __________________________________________________ _______________ JG... Jeff Givens "My hovercraft is full of eels." |

I whipped up a total failure today (Easter). It failed to set up at all. I'm letting it set overnight in the frig with my fingers crossed, but don't hold out any real hope. I'll make a new batch tomorrow using your recipe. I didn't use any flour in mine and that was most likely the big mistake. Other- wise it was pretty close to what you listed. -- Brick(Youth is wasted on young people) |

I really do prefer a meringue than say whipped cream. The experiments are going well. So far the leader is the cinnamon/nutmeg custard w/ butter. I am not certain how critical the butter is. Next two iterations will involve at least some cream in place of milk and a cream cheese addition. I would like to try cornstarch as well but one can only make so many BP's (hard to make a small amount for testing). __________________________________________________ _______________ JG...

OK, I am zeroing in on the final variant. I tried one w/ no butter, using
half & half and folding in some CoolWhip to the custard. I thought this would be the one. Surprisingly it was disappointing. It was good and all that but it didn't blow me away like the one before. So here is what I am going to settle on I think: 1/2 cp sugar 1/3 cp flour 4 egg yolk 2 cp cream (half & half) 1/2 stick butter, melted 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 box Vanilla Wafers 2 bananas 4 egg whites (optional) 8 tbs confectioners (powdered) sugar (optional) 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (optional) Mix sugar and flour in the top part of a double boiler. Add the cream and egg yolks. Mix well and cook uncovered over the boiling water. As custard heats add in the butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir constantly until thickened. Then cook another 5 minutes over reduced heat, stirring occasionally. In a 1.5 L casserole cover the bottom with a thin layer of custard. Layer the wafers and bananas, cover this layer with custard. Repeat until all custard used. Should get two wafer/banana layers. Be sure top layer is covered with custard. Meringue (optional) Preheat oven to 325 F. To the egg whites add the cream of tartar. Start beating and when good and frothy but not yet forming peaks sprinkle in the powdered sugar a TBS at a time with mixing in between additions. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Cover the top of the BP with the meringue. Be sure that there are no air gaps between the bottom of the meringue and the BP. Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes. If the meringue starts to rise a lot and get poufy pull it out. Be sure the BP is still somewhat warm (at least) before putting the meringue on. If not heat the BP up in the oven before adding the meringue.

Just some small beads on the top and a minuscule amount of (visible) water underneath. Prior efforts resulted in a lot of water, I had to drain it. __________________________________________________ _______________ JG... Jeff Givens "My hovercraft is full of eels." |
