Southern Banana Pudding

Ingredients

3/4 Cup Sugar

1/2 Cup AP Flour

Pinch Salt

3 cups Whole Milk

4 large Egg Yolks

2 tbsp butter

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions

Whisk dry ingredients together

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk egg yolks together

Whisk the rest of the wet ingredients together

Simmer on low until a small amount of custard starts building on the spoon

Switch to a whisk and continue whisking the mixture until it clings to the back of a spoon and pull of heat

Add in butter and vanilla until the butter is melted

Working quickly, create two alternating layers of Nilla wafers and banana slices and pour in about half the pudding

Create another layer of Nilla wafers and banana, then pour the rest of the pudding

Using a knife or spoon, spread the pudding down into the dry layers

Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours

After it cools, spread whipped cream on top and optionally some crumbled Nilla wafers
