old-fashioned banana pudding

• 4 ripe bananas
• 1 box of vanilla wafers
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and add the milk. Mix well.
3. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the sugar and flour mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Let the pudding cool for a few minutes while you slice the ripe bananas.
7. In a serving dish or individual cups, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
8. Cover and refrigerate the banana pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Before serving, you can garnish with whipped cream and a few extra banana slices if desired.
