When I was seven and lived in Oregon I was invited to dinner at a friends, it was one of those leave it to Beaver families, they had a nice house a very nice dining room and they sat at the table for dinner. Well almost 40 years later I still remember the dessert she made. I have no idea what she had for dinner just the dessert served in a glass dish. Hey I was only seven. Well I am getting older and for some reason lots of memories are coming back from when I was little and living in Oregon, I think because I have so many wonderful memories living there. We won't talk about the time on Christmas moring we locked my Mom out of the house in the snow. :o) My brother and I thought it was funny, needless to say she had on a nightgown and now shoes. But she does laugh about it now and I do remember her laughing then about it also. But back to the recipe, it is one from many years ago using Nilla waffers and I bet you all have either had it before or seen the recipe. I had my youngest son make it with me for tonights dessert.
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/3 cup flour
dash salt
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
45 NILLA Wafers, divided
5 bananas, sliced

RESERVE 12 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of custard onto bottom of 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Cover with layers of 1/3 each of the remaining wafers, bananas and remaining custard. Repeat layers 2 times.
