INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk, low fat or whole
3 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
vanilla wafer cookies
3 to 4 bananas, ripe but firm
sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping
banana slices for garnish
mint sprigs, optional
PREPARATION:
In a bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and flour; stir to blend. Slowly stir in milk until smooth. Pour into the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks; gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the slightly thickened hot milk mixture.
Return egg mixture to the double boiler, stir in the vanilla and butter, and continue whisking and cooking until well thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In tall dessert glasses or a 2-quart serving dish, make a layer of vanilla wafers then sliced banana. Spoon some of the pudding over the banana layer then layer more vanilla wafers and banana slices, topping with more pudding. Serve with whipped cream topping. If using short dessert dishes, use only one layer each of the wafers, banana slices, and pudding, and then top with a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish each serving with a few slices of banana and a mint sprig if desired.
Serves 6 to 8.

You may want to just do the simple thing with bananas (note the spelling) and Jello banana pudding in a box. Follow the instructions on the box and line the bottom of a casserole dish with vanilla wafers and pour in the mixture. Chill for a couple of hours. That's all there is to preparing (again, note the spelling) banana pudding.

My standard homemade pudding:
3 cups of milk
1/4 cup of cornstarch
1/4 cup of sugar
pinch of salt
Make a paste of the cornstarch with some of the milk in a cup. Heat the rest of milk and the sugar in a saucepan over medium to low heat, as well as the flavorings (see below). When the mixture gets to boiling, pour in the cornstarch paste, stirring constantly. When the pudding thickens, pour it into a serving dish and cool.
Flavorings:
--Banana pudding: Add 2-4 mashed ripe bananas and 2 tsps of vanilla
--Chocolate pudding: Add 1/4 cup cocoa and 2 tsps of vanilla
--Pumpkin pudding: Add 1 cup of cooked pumpkin and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
Etc.
