Banana Custard

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoonfuls Cornstarch
• as needed Cold water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 3 Eggs
• as needed Ripe bananas
• 1/2 teacupful Pulverized pink sugar

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in enough cold water. In a pudding mould or earthen dish, combine the granulated sugar and butter.
2. 2Pour enough boiling water into the pudding mould to make a thick custard. Stir until combined.
3. 3Beat the whites of three eggs until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the custard. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or place the dish in a pot of boiling water and cook for the same amount of time. Let cool completely.
4. 4Once the custard is cold, remove any crust that has formed on top. Finely mince the ripe bananas. Mix the bananas with the custard and pour into a serving dish. Top with a meringue made from the beaten whites of 3 eggs and 1/2 teacupful of pulverized pink sugar.
