Mamaw Shirley's Banana Pudding

Banana pudding was always in my grandmother's house and she never used the box stuff you can buy in the store.  With only 6 ingredients, this couldn't be easier.  You will never buy a box of pudding mix again!

Banana Pudding

2 cups sugar

4 cups milk

4 T. flour

4 egg yolks

1 T. vanilla

1 T. butter

1 bunch of bananas (how many depends on what size of pan you use to layer the mixture in)

1 box Nilla Wafers

In a saucepan over medium-low heat combine the sugar, milk, and flour.  Cook stirring constantly until the mixture begins to boil.  In a separate bowl temper some of the boiling mixture with the egg yolks and combine together in the saucepan.  Cook until the mixture thickens.

In a serving dish, layer the cookies, sliced bananas, and pudding.  Continue layering ending with pudding on top.  You can garnish with some extra Nilla Wafers.  

You can serve this warm or cold.  (I love it chilled overnight in the refrigerator, although if you are going for a beautiful presentation the bananas may brown.)
