Banana pudding from scratch

How to Make the Custard for the Pudding:

• Combine your flour, sugar, and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.


• Lightly beat your egg yolks and whisk to combine with milk in a large bowl or even use a large liquid measuring cup, such as a 4-cup.


• Whisk your egg yolk mixture into your dry ingredients in the saucepan set over medium to low heat. Stir constantly until the custard is thickened, remove from the heat and stir in your vanilla extract.

How to Assemble Banana Pudding:

• Arrange vanilla wafers on the bottom of a 2-quart dish, such as an oven-safe glass bowl or dish.


• Slice bananas and place on top of the vanilla wafer layer.


• Pour 1/3 of the pudding over the wafers and bananas.


• Repeat layering process, ending with a layer of wafers.
