1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
2
Add Milk
Gradually stir in 2 cups of milk to the dry ingredients in the saucepan, mixing until smooth.
3
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
4
Prepare Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks. Once the pudding mixture is thickened, slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.
5
Combine and Finalize Pudding
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining pudding. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

6
Prepare Bananas
Slice 3 medium ripe bananas into thin rounds.
7
Layer Ingredients
In a large serving dish, start by layering the bottom with vanilla wafers. Add a layer of banana slices, followed by a layer of the prepared pudding. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
8
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread 2 cups of whipped cream over the top layer of pudding. You can garnish with additional banana slices or crushed vanilla wafers if desired.
9
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
