1 lemon, juiced
1 large bag vanilla wafers
3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided

1
Peel and slice bananas into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place in bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice to keep from turning dark.
2
Make custard. Cream together butter, 1 1/4 cup of sugar and flour in top of a double boiler. Beat together egg yolks and milk, and stir into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Set aside off heat.
3
In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices. Repeat layers until dish is almost full. Gently pour custard over layers to cover cookies and fruit.
4
Whip egg whites with cream of tartar to form soft peaks. Gently stir in sugar. Top pudding with egg whites.
5
Bake in preheated 325F oven for 20 minutes, until meringue is lightly browned. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve later, chilled.
