I don't know how fancy you want to get - here are two recipes, one easy and the other one more involved.
Banana Pudding from the Wood-Boone Norrell House
This is the recipe from above named inn in Marshall, Texas:
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk 1 1/2 cups water 1 3-oz, box banana instant pudding mix 1 pint whipped cream 3-4 bananas vanilla wafers
Combine milk and water. Add pudding mix and refrigerate for about 5 minutes.
Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture. In a serving dish (clear is best) layer vanilla wafers, banana slices, and pudding, ending with wafers.
Note: I sprinkle lime or lemon juice over the banana slices to keep them from turning brown. Also adds great taste.
