Banana Pudding Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Pudding

   In a medium saucepan, whisk together the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the milk while whisking to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat.

   Add Egg Yolk

   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot pudding mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract.
