Start by scalding your milk. The best way to do this is by heating it in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. The most important part is to NOT boil the milk but to get it just before that point. You can help to avoid boiling by placing a wooden spoon into the bowl of milk.

In a large pot on medium heat, combine the scalded milk, sugar, flour and salt and whisk together until well combine.

Over medium heat, continue to whisk until the sauce starts to thicken up (8-10 minutes) to create a pudding like texture.

Once it starts to thicken up, reduce your heat and continue to stir for another few minutes (3-4 minutes).

In a separate bowl, whisk your egg yolks and add in a tablespoon of your pudding mixture and stir. This will temper the eggs to avoid any curdling. Add in a few more tablespoons for safe measure.

Once the eggs have tempered, add it into your pudding. Continue over a low heat for a few more minutes (3-4 minutes) then remove from heat.

Stir in your butter, banana flavoring and vanilla and stir until well combined.

Slice your bananas and place on top of your graham cracker pie crust.

Pour the banana pudding over the banana and place in the fridge to chill for a few hours.
