How to Make Baby S Southern Banana Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and egg yolks (tempered by slowly whisking a small amount of the hot mixture into the yolks before adding them to the main mixture).

7. Repeat layers with remaining vanilla wafers, bananas, and custard.
