Soul Food Banana Pudding the Way Grandma Made It — No Box, No Shortcuts

Mama never once made banana pudding from a box. In this video, I'll walk you through her old Greenwood, Mississippi way, step by step, with speckled bananas, a stovetop custard, homemade tea cakes, real vanilla, and a meringue made from the egg whites most folks throw out. I priced it both ways at my grocery store. The box way came to almost $15. Mama's way came to about $5.50 for the same 9 by 13 pan, and it feeds twelve. You'll also hear how the recipe printed on the side of the wafer box came out of home kitchens first, and what pushed each of Mama's old ways off the table. So pull up a chair. The saucepan's already on the stove. Subscribe so the next old recipe finds you. It doesn't cost a nickel. Keep the old ways. #BananaPudding #SoulFood #FrugalLiving
