Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ripe Bananas
- 12 ounces Vanilla wafers
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to prevent any lumps. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Whisk in the egg yolks and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated. Allow the custard to cool slightly.
Step 5
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
Step 6
In a 9-inch square or round baking dish, create a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices, and a layer of custard. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of custard on top.
Step 7
If desired, add a final garnish of crushed vanilla wafers or whipped cream.
Step 8
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy!
