Below you will find one of our classic recipes with our Vanilla Wafers:
Adelaide’s Famous Original Banana Pudding
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
- Bud's Best Vanilla Wafers
- 6 ripe bananas, sliced (thin)
Combine sugar, flour and salt in the top of a double boiler, and stir in milk. Cook over boiling water, stirring until thickened. Beat egg yolks and gradually stir into hot mixture. Return to double boiler; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Line a 1-quart casserole with Bud's Best Vanilla Wafers and top with sliced bananas. Pour a portion of custard over the bananas. Repeat, ending with custard on top.
Beat egg whites stiff but not dry. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Pile on top of the pudding. Bake in preheated 425-degree oven for 5 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

Trivia: Bud Cason, founder of Bud’s Best Cookies, actually invented the bite-size cookie. You might say he’s the father of the bite-size cookie.
So in honor of Father’s Day, make Bud proud by taking our cookie survey:
If your dad were a cookie, which one would he be?
- The classic but relaxed Vanilla Wafer?
- The friendly and fun Teddy Bear?
- The wholesome and strong Oatmeal Cookie?
Let us know on Instagram by sharing a picture of your dad with his favorite cookie. Be sure to tag @BudsBestCookies in the picture.
Psst…In case you’re wondering….Bud would be the Teddy Bear!
