Banana Pudding

Ingredients

4 ripe bananas

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafers

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

3 eggs

2 1/2 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream
Directions

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir in milk gradually until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks slightly. Gradually stir in 1 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then blend into the remaining hot mixture in the saucepan.
Boil for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
Layer sliced bananas and vanilla wafers in a serving dish. Pour the pudding mixture over the layers.
Repeat the layering process and top with whipped cream. Chill before serving.
