1
Prepare the Pudding Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
2
Combine Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Once the pudding mixture has thickened, gradually whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Then, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
3
Finish the Pudding
Continue cooking the pudding over low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Layer the Pudding
In a serving dish or individual cups, layer slices of bananas, then a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of pudding. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top.
5
Top with Whipped Cream
Spread whipped cream over the top layer of pudding and optionally garnish with additional banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers.
6
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set. Serve chilled.
