Ingredients
1. For the pudding base
2. For topping
Step-by-Step Method
Mix the dry ingredients
In a medium-sized pot, mix the flour, 1 1/3 cups of sugar and salt with a wire whisk. This reduces the risk of lumps forming while cooking.
Add the egg and milk
Add the eggs and beat briefly. Then, while slowly pouring in the milk, stir constantly; Let the mixture be smooth.
Let it thicken on the stove
Place the pot on medium heat. While the mixture is heating, stir it constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. When it thickens close to boiling, cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the vanilla and adjust the taste
Turn off the stove. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. If you want, balance the taste by adding one of the extra amounts of sugar listed a little at a time; stir after each addition.
Add the banana
Slice the banana and mix it into the pudding, or divide it into serving bowls and pour the pudding over it. It makes it easier to add the pudding when it is not too hot to prevent the bananas from browning.
Cool and serve
Cover the stretch film so that it touches the surface of the pudding so that it does not form a skin on it. When it reaches room temperature, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. If you want, freshen the flavor with 2 teaspoons of vanilla just before serving.
