Danny Gaulden's Toast and Banana Pudding
 
1/3   cup  flour 
2/3   cup  sugar 
     salt -- to taste 
 tablespoon  butter 
   egg yolks 
 cups  milk 
 teaspoon  vanilla 
 pieces  toast 

Here's a simple to make dessert, and is my favorite for something fast, but very good at the same time. Sometimes I think we get caught up in complex, complicated recipes, and forget that the real secret to great cooking is a simple ol' recipe, prepared to perfection. This is one of those. This is a TOAST pudding recipe...not to be confused with a bread pudding. Daylight and dark in the flavor and texture. Give it a try.

Combine sugar and flour, then stir in milk. Add butter. Cook over medium low to medium heat till mixture thickens. Stir often, especially as it starts to thicken. It will almost be to a slow boil for a couple or so minutes when at proper thickness. When thick, remove from heat. Divide eggs yolks from whites, and discard whites. Beat yolks. Add 2 or 3 Tbs. of hot mixture to yolks and mix. Do this a couple of times to temper yolks, then add yolks to main mixture. Add salt to taste, along with the teaspoon of vanilla.Have toast cut into 1/4 size pieces (quartered), and lay one layer in bottom of 1 1/2 to 2 quart dish. Pour half of mixture over toast. Add next layer of toast, and pour in remaining mixture. Let set for at least 15 minutes before serving.You can also use this mixture for one GREAT banana pudding. Just layer in vanilla wafers, bananas, and sauce. Can also add a meringue and bake till brown on top for a special treat.
