1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and all-purpose flour until well combined.
2
Add Milk
Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
3
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Temper the Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot pudding mixture to the egg yolks while whisking to temper them.
5
Combine and Cook
Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the pudding mixture, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
6
Finish the Pudding
Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

7
Slice the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin rounds.
8
Layer the Bananas
In a serving dish, create a layer of sliced bananas at the bottom.

9
Add Pudding
Pour a layer of the prepared pudding over the sliced bananas, covering them completely.
10
Layer Vanilla Wafers
Add a layer of vanilla wafers over the pudding.
11
Repeat Layers
Repeat the layers of bananas, pudding, and vanilla wafers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
12
Add Whipped Cream
Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding evenly.
13
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
