Method
Make the filling
- Mix 1/2 cup of the milk, sugar, constarch, salt in a heavy bottomed pot.
- Add in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk.
- Heat over medium low until steaming hot.
- Beat the two egg yolks.
- Temper the eggs by slowly adding 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the eggs and whisking all the while. Then add the tempered egg mixture slowly back into the hot milk mixture, whisking all the time.
- Cook until thickened to the consistency of a thin pudding (will thicken with chilling) stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat.
- Add in butter and vanilla
- Refrigerate to chill.
Make the crust
- Cream together the butter, sugar, and egg.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, salt.
- Bake the crust at 350℉ in a 9x13 pan for 10 minutes. If cooking in a 9x9 pan, cook for 15 minutes. Cool.
- Optional: Bake a small amount of this dough in a separate baking dish, crumble to put on top of pudding as garnish.
- Layer sugar cookie crust with sliced bananas, cover with the chilled vanilla pudding, top with whipped cream and optional cookie crumbles.
