I am a total snob when it comes to banana pudding. I am not into instant pudding at all. Not only is this recipe the best I have ever tried, but it is easy too. It doesn’t take long, but goes fast. This can also be halved to serve fewer people.
1. In a 5 quart pot, stir together sugar, flour, egg yolks, and water. Stir until ingredients form a paste.
2. Add milk; stir well.
3. Cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until pudding-like consistency is reached.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Stir in butter and vanilla.
6. Then add cut up bananas alternately with crunched vanilla wafers.
7. Serve warm (my favorite) or cold out of the refrigerator.
8. Add extra wafers on top for presentation.

I made this yesterday and it was waaaay too sugary! Did I do something wrong or are my taste buds jacked up because all I tasted was sugar. I’d like to try again but how do I modify this so the sugar isn’t so overpowering? Can I just use 1 1/2 cups instead of 2 or is that going to throw everything off?

Made this Saturday evening for my husband who IS a banana pudding snob and it passed the taste test – for both of us! Super easy and delicious. Even better on Sunday (at least that’s what he told me as he finished off the bowl before I had a chance to even stick a spoon in it!) Good job Rfreebie!

We just went to a cookout and my husband was all excited because one of the wive’s said she was bringing homemade bread pudding. By homemade she meant she assembled it it herself – with pkg. pudding and cool whip. My husband was SO disappointed!

So true…even the boxed pudding that you cook isn’t the same as homemade. My mom always made hers this way and it is so much better…doesn’t break down into a watery mess.

…..but if you want to be REALLYYYYYYY snobby, please use real vanilla–not the extract!! This is the way my mom always made banana pudding. You have to be careful though about your bananas being too green, or they will become hard in the warm pudding. I guess I’m not a snob, cause if I need a fast, quick dessert banana pudding is the way to go with the boxed mixes. Either way-you can’t beat banana pudding. Especially in the summer time.
