Gradually stir one fourth of the hot milk into yolks, stir into reserved dry ingredients, and add remaining hot milk. Cook the custard, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, and the custard coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, and bananas. Let cool to room temperature.
