Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Whisk 1 cup sugar, flour, and salt together in the top of a double boiler.
Stir in 6 egg yolks and milk.
Cook over boiling water for 10-20 minutes, or until thickened, whisking constantly.
Once thickened, remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract.
Spread a little of the pudding mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. I used a 10.5x7.5-inch dish.
Layer about 20 cookies, one third of the banana slices, and one third of the custard.
Repeat layers two more times.
Beat 6 egg whites to soft peak stage.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup sugar over egg whites; continue beating to stiff peak stage.
Spoon egg whites over custard, sealing edges.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Serve warm or chilled.
Chill any leftovers.
Notes
The bananas should not be too ripe. If they're too ripe, they will be difficult to slice, and they'll get very mushy in the pudding.
