Banana Pudding In A Mason Jar


I know it's the eve of the Super Bowl and I should have something on here with Chicken Wings , but you guys are used to that...You'll have your wings, your hoagies, and what not...Here is a dessert for the ages...
Banana Pudding in a Mason Jar...

Actually this is called Southern Banana Pudding...Check it out...You need this in your life-

INGREDIENTS:

Pudding:
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup low-gluten flour such as White Lily
1/4 tsp salt
4 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
a pinch of nutmeg
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2-3/4 of a 12 oz box vanilla wafers (I use Nabisco Nilla)
3 medium ripe bananas, sliced

Meringue:
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
5 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract


DIRECTIONS: 

 Pudding: Heat a few inches of water in a double boiler until boiling. In the top of the double boiler, whisk the sugar, flour, salt, egg yolks, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth. Whisk constantly for 10-15 minutes until the pudding is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set the pudding aside.

Place a layer of wafers around the bottom of each jar (about 6 wafers if using pint jars) making sure that some wafers stand up against the side of the jar. Place several slices of banana on top of the wafers. Spoon about 1/4-1/2 cup (I use 1/2 cup for pint jars) pudding over the slices in each jar. Repeat the layers in each jar. Set the jars aside while you make the meringue.

Meringue: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue mixing, increasing the speed, for 30 more seconds.


Eat this warm and chase it down with a cold glass of milk-

Enjoy, Eat well My friends
