Place the egg yolks, milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, cook until thickened (about 15-20 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Place half of the wafers in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Spread 1/2 of the crushed pineapple on top, cover with 1/2 of the custard, and repeat.
1 box vanilla wafers, 1 can crushed pineapple
Place egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (see post for more clarification on this). Add sugar and beat again until stiff peaks form. Spread over the top of the pudding and take care to make sure the meringue touches the sides all around. Place in a 350-degree oven until the top is lightly brown (about 15 minutes).
3 egg whites, 1/4 cup sugar
Best if served warm.
Notes
Notes to remember:
No yolks in the meringue mix or it won't work.
Make sure the mixing bowl for the meringue doesn't have any grease in it or the meringue won't set.
If you don't want the meringue, the vanilla wafer pudding tastes great with whipped cream on top too.
