Pudding Base
Prepare the Ingredients
Slice 3 medium bananas and set aside. Measure out all other ingredients.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add Milk
Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk to the dry mixture until smooth.
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add Flavoring
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and combined.
Incorporate Bananas
Gently fold in the sliced bananas into the pudding mixture.
Assembly
Layer the Pudding
In a large serving dish, arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom.
Add Pudding
Spoon half of the banana pudding mixture over the wafers, spreading it evenly.
Add More Wafers
Add another layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding.
Repeat and Finish
Spoon the remaining banana pudding mixture over the second layer of wafers. Top with 2 cups of whipped cream, smoothing it out to cover the pudding.
Garnish
Slice the additional medium banana and arrange the slices on top of the whipped cream for decoration.
Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
