1
Prepare the Pudding Base
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.
2
Add Milk
Slowly pour the milk into the saucepan while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
3
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes).
4
Incorporate Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from heat and slowly add a small amount of the hot pudding to the egg yolks to temper them. Then, slowly whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
5
Finish the Pudding
Return the saucepan to the heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then stir in the vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

6
Prepare the Bananas
Slice the bananas into thin rounds.
7
Layer the Ingredients
In a trifle dish or individual cups, layer the vanilla wafers, banana slices, and the pudding mixture. Start with a layer of wafers, then a layer of bananas, followed by a layer of pudding.
8
Repeat the Layers
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
9
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of pudding.
10
Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, to allow the flavors to meld.
