Banana Pudding

Directions

1. 1
   ["In a 2 quart pot, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Make sure that there are no lumps in the cornstarch. Stir in the 4 beaten egg yolks until evenly distributed. The mixture may be stiff. Add the half-and-half and the milk. Whisk well to combine. Cook over medium low heat, whisking or stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.", "Add the butter, one piece at a time, stirring until melted before adding the next piece. Stir in the vanilla. Pour pudding into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pushing the plastic wrap evenly against the top of the pudding. This will keep the pudding from developing a \"skin\"" as it cools. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until pudding has chilled thoroughly.""
