½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 egg
3 egg yolks
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) package vanilla wafers
5 or 6 ripe bananas, sliced
3 egg whites

Mix ½ cup sugar with flour and salt in a double boiler. Add egg and egg yolks. Stir in milk.
Cook over boiling water until thickened, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Alternate layers of the pudding, vanilla wafers, and bananas in a 1½-quart baking dish until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of pudding.

To commemorate our 90th anniversary, we’ve compiled a time line that highlights the stories, contributors, and themes that have shaped this magazine — and your view of the Old North State — using nine decades of our own words.
From its northernmost point in Corolla to its southern terminus on Cedar Island, this scenic byway — bound between sound and sea — links the islands and communities of the Outer Banks.

After nearly a century — or just a couple of years — these seafood restaurants have become coastal icons, the places we know, love, and return to again and again.
