Prepare eggs. Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 of the eggs, discard the whites. Add the remaining whole egg to the yolks.
4 eggs
Combine and heat. In a saucepan with no heat, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole egg and 3 yolks, and then stir in the milk. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, whisking often, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
1/2 cup sugar, 3 Tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups whole milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Set. Once your pudding is cooled, move it to the refrigerator to set for 3-8 hours.
Make whipped cream. Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt
Layer and enjoy. Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish or a spoonful in individual stemless wine glasses. Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Slice the bananas about 1/8 inch thick and arrange a layer over the wafers. Next, add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers, and top with a heaping spoonful of whipped cream and vanilla wafer crumbles. Serve and enjoy.
4 bananas, 35 vanilla wafers
