Classic Banana Pudding Recipe
In a saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
In a separate bowl, beat 3 egg yolks.
Gradually whisk in a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper them.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Layer sliced bananas, vanilla wafers, and pudding in a dish. Refrigerate until chilled before serving.
