Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in top of double boiler. Blend in three egg yolks and milk. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla.
Reserve 12 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of custard on bottom of 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Cover with layers of 1/3 each of the remaining wafers, bananas and remaining custard. Repeat layers 2 times.
Beat egg whites on high speed of mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over custard, sealing well to edge of dish.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly. Top with reserved wafers just before serving.
I didn't like the looks of the reserved wafer topping so I just left the browned egg whites.
Make as directed; cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with wafers if so desired.
