Ingredients

1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup water
1/3 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 cup mashed ripe bananas

Instructions

Whisk Dry: In a microwave-safe glass batter bowl, combine the self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until any lumps are gone.
Add Liquids: Add the evaporated milk, water, and egg yolks, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth base.
Mix in Fruit: Stir in the mashed bananas until well incorporated.
Microwave & Stir: Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and stir well, making sure to scrape the bottom and the sides where the custard tends to thicken first.
Thicken: Return the bowl to the microwave and cook in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is thick, creamy, and coats the back of a spoon.
Cool: Pour the custard into a shallow dish to help it cool quickly and evenly before using it to fill your cake layers.

Notes

Tammy's Tip: To prevent a "skin" from forming on your custard while it cools, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the hot custard.
