Stir the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until the cornstarch is disolved. Stir this paste into the milk and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add the egg yolks and keep stirring constantly, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temerature. Stir the pudding occasionally while cooling to prevent a skin from forming. 2. Preheat the oven to 350F Degrees. Slice 2 of the bananas and arrange the slices in an even layer in the bottom of an 8- by 8-inch baking dish. Cover them with a slightly overlaping layer of about half the vanilla wafers. Spoon half of the pudding into the layers. Repeat with the remaining bananas, cookies, and pudding. Bake untill the top of the pudding is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool completly before serving. *Copyright Sylvia Woods Enterprises, LLC.
