== Directions ==
# In a bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and flour; stir to blend.
# Slowly stir in milk until smooth.
# Pour into the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
# Cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken.
# In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks; gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the slightly thickened hot milk mixture.
# Return egg mixture to the double boiler, stir in the vanilla and butter, and continue whisking and cooking until well thickened.
# Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
# In tall dessert glasses or a 2-quart serving dish, make a layer of vanilla wafers then sliced banana.
# Spoon some of the pudding over the banana layer then layer more vanilla wafers and banana slices, topping with more pudding.
# Serve with whipped cream topping.
# If using short dessert dishes, use only one layer each of the wafers, banana slices, and pudding, and then top with a dollop of whipped cream.
# Garnish each serving with a few slices of banana and a mint sprig if desired.
# Enjoy.
