Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Banana Pudding:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Mix well until fully combined.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Sprinkle in the baking soda and mix until evenly distributed.
- Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually fold in the self-raising flour until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
3. Bake the Banana Pudding:
- Grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the banana batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pudding cool.
4. Prepare the Cinnamon Custard:
- While the pudding is cooling, prepare the custard. In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the milk, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Add the sugar and place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Continuously stir the mixture until it thickens and begins to simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Serve:
- To serve, slice a portion of the banana pudding and place it on a dessert plate.
- Pour a generous amount of the warm cinnamon custard over the pudding.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few banana slices for presentation.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture in your pudding.
- Ensure the milk is at the right temperature when mixing with the custard ingredients to prevent curdling.
- For a smoother custard, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before cooking.
- Allow the pudding to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
