This is the original recipe right off the box. This is very pretty if you use the rainbow wafers.

4 eggs
Nilla Wafers
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
5 or 6 medium ripe bananas
Dash salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Reserve 2 tablespoons sugar.

In top of double boiler combine remaining sugar, flour and salt. Beat in 1 whole egg and 3 egg yolks; reserve 3 egg whites. Stir in milk. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly, 10 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Spoon about 1/2 cup custard into bottom of 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, cover with a layer of Nilla wafers. Top with a layer of  sliced bananas; pour about 2/3 cup custard over bananas. Continue layering , ending with custard.

In a small bowl, beat reserved egg whites until stiff but not dry; gradually adding 2 tablespoons reserved sugar; beat till mixture forms stiff peaks. Spoon on top of custard; spreading to cover entire surface.

Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes, or until surface is lightly browned. Just before serving garnish with banana slices, if desired.
