Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine the sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan.
Whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat until thickened.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Beat the egg yolks in a bowl and temper with a bit of the hot pudding mixture.
Mix the egg yolks back into the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Layer the vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding in a serving dish.
Top with whipped cream and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

For best results, use very ripe bananas and let the pudding chill for several hours before serving to enhance the flavors.
