    Whisk in the egg yolks thoroughly, add in cut pieces of butter, stirring constantly heat over medium heat until the mixture just comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, stirring briskly, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes (Pudding will be thick and smooth).

    Have the vanilla wafers ready, peel and slice (¼ inch thick) 3 to 4 bananas. Line the bottom of a 2 to 2 ½-quart dish with the wafers. Top the wafers with banana slices and cover with half of the pudding. Arrange a layer of wafers over the top of the pudding, then cover with the remaining banana slices, and pudding.

    *Be sure to spoon pudding over any exposed bananas to prevent browning.

    Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding (or cover) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

    Just before serving cover with vanilla wafer crumbs, or whipped topping, or both.
