   Vanilla Pudding: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup milk with the vanilla extract. Stir the vanilla mixture and butter into the hot pudding until butter is melted and fully incorporated. Pour into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and chill for at least 2 hours.

   Rice Pudding: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

   Banana Pudding: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking about 1/2 cup of the hot pudding into the yolks, then gradually whisk the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining pudding. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thicker. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. To assemble, layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and warm pudding in individual serving dishes or a large trifle bowl. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.

   Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the cubed bread and gently toss to coat, ensuring all bread pieces are soaked. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of sauce.
