Store brown sugar in the freezer and it won’t clump up. Best to place it in a plastic baggie and removie it from the box.

what is the recipe for homemade banana pudding? my grandma in La. used to make it, but I forgot how she did it. Thanks
I c. sugar, 1/3 c. flour, 2 c. milk, 2 eggs, 1 t. vanilla, 1 stick butter.
Mix sugar, flour, and milk a little at a time until all mixed. Add egg yolks, (saving egg whites for meringue, and cook in double boiler until thickened. Remove from stove. Add butter and vanilla. Stir until melted. While pudding is cooking, in a oven proof bowl, alternate bananas with vanilla wafers. When butter is melted in pudding, stir and mix well. Then pour pudding over bananas and vanilla wafers.
Meringue topping.
Take egg whites and beat until stiff. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar. Beat until well blended. Put on top of pudding. Place in oven until golden brown. Watch very carefully so you don’t burn it. Hope you enjoy….
Thats the way my mom made it. None of that store bought pudding in Banana Pudding !!!!
My mother did it a little different! 3 cups of milk, 3 eggs and 1/2 stick of butter and the rest was the same. We did several things with this besides banana pudding. For one, we added coconut for coconut pie.
My Mother also used a lg can of pineapple chunks drained to the pudding it is wonderful to.
6-8 Bananas, 2 Boxes Nilla Wafers
Mix together over medium heat stirring constantly until thickens: 2 -12 ounce cans evaporated milk, 1 can water, 2 1/2 Cups sugar, 4 egg yokes, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 stick butter, 1/2 cups corn starch. Remove from heat and stir occasionally while layering…
Bottom layer Nilla wafers, sliced bananas, wafers, 1/3 pudding. Repeat times two. Decorate top with wafers or meringue. Serve warm or chilled. This is as homemade as it gets!
The secret is this::::
Make sure the pudding is cool before you pour it on the bananas.
Also make sure you have ripe bananas–black speckled spots.
I also use honey graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers. They don’t get as soggy.
Enjoy, from a KY gal.

Your recipe is the exact way that I make mine and it is always a hit with the family. They love it ! I use can milk (Carnation) at room temp. I prefer (Pet brand can milk) and I always sift my flour.

I just tried it and it worked fine. Are you clicking on the picture?
I just tried to get it also and it said recipe not found. I was using your link.
By the way, I think your site is wonderful. I was born in Texas and so we are familiar with most of the southern slang (or way of talking). I love it!
What are you looking for Carla? If it is the picture on my favorite recipes here is the link: http://thesouthernladycooks.com/2012/05/01/kentuckys-woodford-pudding/

I was just looking at your recipes and you are the first I’ve seen that uses cold biscuits in your bread pudding. My Granny got me started using them when I was young but instead of calling it bread pudding, she called it biscuit pudding. It is some yummy stuff tho and I think I’ll try your rum sauce over mine the next time I make it. I love all your recipes tho and plan to try some of them soon. I’m a fan of yours on Facebook.
Just found this—-I am from the south and I will be trying some of your recipes
I’m trying to find the ranch pasta salad you posted 2 or 3 days ago, I fixed it &loved it but forgot to copy the recipe. Everytime i click on your ranch pasta salad it goes to Salmon dip. Everytime, & i have tried numerous times.
Hi Mary, Where are you clicking that it goes to Salmon Dip. I looked under salads and clicked on Ranch Pasta Salad and it took me to the recipe. I also put it in the “Search” box on the blog and it came up. I thought maybe I had them mixed up some way. Here is the link you need. http://thesouthernladycooks.com/2011/08/18/summer-pasta-salad/. Happy you enjoyed this salad and have a good weekend.
My mother use to make a dish we caled goolosh but I dont think that is what it is. She used hamburger, tomatoes, cooked macaroni drained, and I dont know what else. Do you have any recipies that even sounnds like this? I would so much appreciate it if you could email it to me my family is dying to eat this. Thank you
Hi Donna
The recipe you might be looking for is from the Paula Deen show she calls goolosh, I believe it is her sons Bobby favorite recipe. Good Luck!!!!
Sandy
Donna, I make this goolosh regularly. It is fast and everyone loves it. I am not one for measurements, but it is simple. I scramble the hamburger meat and set it aside. Cook as many noodle as you want and while it is cooking saute some bail pepper and onions in butter. When it is all done, drain the noodles, mix in your hamburger, bail pepper and onions and two cans of stewed tomatoes plus one can of tomatoe soup and simmer for about 10 mins. You can adjust the amount of tomatoes and tomatoe soup according to the amount of noodles you have. Salt, pepper and any other seasoning you might want. Sorry, but I am a “by the seat of my pants cook” but you will get the idea.
Donna, I learned to make Goulosh the same way you described yours. When I lived in Charlotte, NC. a girlfriend used to make it this way and she taught me. No measuring for us either. Maybe that’ll be the next thing I teach my 13 yr. old granddaughter to cook. They moved to Kansas and she loves to learn how to cook. I taught her how to make Chick’N Dumplins right before they moved and she’s made them several times. Goulosh is good anytime, but I like it the most in cool weather. I’m in FL., but they say it’s cold in Kansas.
would like recipe for eggplant baked parmessean
I just love all your recipes! Please keep them coming!
You are a wonderful person and I wished I lived close to you. Southern Girls are a blessing in themselves!
I just found your website, I am from Texas but moved to the northwest 30 years ago. Looking at your recipes was like a trip back home. I plan making several of your dishes over the holidays.
Where the recipe for the chocolate cake you have pictured in the dessert section? the chocolate cake is like out of a 9 x 13 or it may be a sheet cake.
I don’t know which cake you are talking about Penney. If you can see it, you should be able to get the recipe.
It could be Chocolate Sheet Cake if it’s the one I think it is. Evidently it was a favorite of one of the Presidents wives. I think it was Lady Bird.
I was just wondering if you knew of a lasagna recipe that used eggplant instead of meat? A co-worker at the time had shared some of this, but I didnt have anything to write the recipe down with. It was sooo great! I would have never thought I would have liked a lasagna without meat….well, I was wrong.
Sorry I don’t have one.
A lasagna dish that is made with Eggplant is called Moussaka. It is greek – but wonderful!!! Ther recipe I have has a meat sauce, though.
do you have a recipe for old fashioned black walnut pound cake
Sorry, Mary, I don’t have one.
I love your site. Lots of good ole fashion cooking from when I was a child. So many are so very simple to make and that’s a plus because I am not a great cook and if it’s complicated I won’t even try.
Thank you Susan.
Love all your recipes
Thank you so much, Betty.
I started using Graham Crackers instead of Vanilla Wafers, it is very good this way too. Try it. After using Graham Crackers, I never went back to Vanilla Wafers.
