Melt butter in a double boiler over medium heat.

Add sugar, flour, salt, whole milk, and evaporated milk. Whisk to combine.

Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Add a spoonful of the hot milk mixture to the bowl with the
 egg yolks and mix to temper the yolks.

Stir the tempered yolks into the milk mixture and cook,

Remove from heat and mix in vanilla.

Let cool to room temp, about 30 minutes.

 Slice bananas, reserving a 1/4 of a banana {in the peel} to slice and add as a garnish before serving.

 I use mini Vanilla Wafer cookies to fit easily into the mason jars.
You can also break up regular size Vanilla Wafers and use them instead.

 This recipe makes around 2 cups of pudding.

In 3-4 empty mason jars, layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding up to three times.

 I add my pudding to a measuring cup for easy pouring.

 Mix together heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla on high speed to make homemade whipped cream.

 Top with whipped cream.
 Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

 Before serving,
add a garnish of crushed Vanilla Wafers and a couple slices of banana on each jar.

Once you try it, you know. Homemade is sooooo much better than boxed mix

Serve with spoons and dig in!
This banana pudding is finger lickin’ good!

    My favorite summer dessert is some macerated strawberries served over angel food cake. If I'm feeling really fancy I'll top it with some whipped cream.
