From scratch is the BEST!
Thanks for the recipe. Nothing better than homemade banana pudding. But the best part of your post is the photo of Sonny and his grandmother conferring over the pot.
Yes ! ! !
This sounds delicious! Just to clarify, is the 1/4 cup of sugar in addition to the 1/2 cup you use in the custard or is it 1/4 for the custard and 1/4 for the meringue?
I can’t wait to try it!
Can’t wait to make this for my hubby. He absolutely loves Bananna Pudding. Thanks so much Layla and Katie. YUM!!
So glad Steevenson is getting to enjoy the love of grandparents each day!
This is my husband’s favorite!
