• 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 flavouring 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.

• For extra flare, sprinkle on some toasted coconut!
