Classic Southern-Style Banana Pudding by Thusmokingvip

Ingredients

• 4 cup whole milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large bananas, sliced
• 12 oz vanilla wafer cookies

Instructions

1. Whisk sugar, flour, and egg yolks in a medium saucepan until smooth, then gradually stir in the milk.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10-12 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, then let the custard cool for 5 minutes.
4. Layer the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish with a single layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas.
5. Pour half of the warm custard over the fruit and cookies, then repeat with a second layer of cookies, bananas, and the remaining custard.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the wafers to soften.
