2. Gradually pour the milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly.

3. Place the pan over medium heat and stir until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and temper them with the hot pudding mixture.

5. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook for 2 more minutes.

6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

7. Layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding in a serving dish.

Avoid overcooking the pudding to prevent a grainy texture.

Chill the pudding long enough to set properly.
