"This is my Granny Sell's recipe. She never wrote it down before she passed away, so I've tried to copy it with trial and error. It is such a family favorite that I usually double the recipe when I make it."

Ready In:: 20mins
Ingredients:: 9
Serves:: 4-5

ingredients

³⁄₄ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 lightly beaten egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 bananas, sliced
1 ¹⁄₂ cups crushed graham crackers (hold back 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top)

directions

Mix sugar,cornstarch, and salt in saucepan. Add milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbling. Cook and stir 2 minutes more, then remove from heat. Add a small amount of hot mixture to beaten egg yolks, then quickly add back to rest of mixture. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
Layer in serving bowl. I put 1/2 of grahams on bottom, 1/2 bananas next, 1/2 pudding mixture next. Repeat layers and add 1/4 cup graham crumbs on top for garnish. Makes 4 or 5 servings.
I usually make this in the morning, because it tastes wonderful after it has cooled all day in refrigerator and all the flavors marry. I also double this because there is never enough for all of my family.

Hi Pam, could you use egg whites instead of egg yolks? Thanks!

This is amazing!! The second time I made it I just did the pudding part because I didn't have banana and it is the best vanilla pudding also!!

thank you pam. This is the way I make my banana pudding. Love the homemade pudding recipe. I make my graham crackers like a crust with sugar and butter. I usually use pudding mix but tried yours and it was just what I was looking for. Thank you!! Five stars!!!
