### Tools
- Medium saucepan (induction compatible)

### Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 package of vanilla wafers or biscuits
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Pudding:**
    - In a medium induction-compatible saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth. Place the saucepan on the induction stovetop over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil, about 10 minutes.

2. **Mix in Egg Yolks:**
    - In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper. Then, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

3. **Finish the Pudding:**
    - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully combined. Let the pudding cool slightly.

4. **Assemble the Jars:**
    - In each mason jar, layer slices of banana and vanilla wafers. Pour the pudding over the layers until the jar is filled. Repeat with the remaining jars. Cover each jar with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Before serving, top with whipped cream if desired.
