By CHRIS-2

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie shell, baked
• 3 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 bananas

Preparation

Step 1

1 Have baked 9-inch pie shell ready.

2 In a large saucepan, scald the milk.

3 In another saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in the scalded milk.

4 Over medium heat, stirring constantly, cook until thickened.

5 Cover and, stirring occasionally, cook for two minutes longer.

6 In a small bowl, have the 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten, ready; stir a small amount of the hot mixture into beaten yolks; when thoroughly
combined, stir yolks into hot mixture.

7 Cook for one minute longer, stirring constantly.

8 Remove from heat and blend in the butter and vanilla.

9 Let sit until lukewarm.

10 When ready to pour, slice bananas and scatter in pie shell; pour warm mixture over bananas.

11 If desired, make a meringue (you'll have 3 leftover egg whites) to top the pie, or just let the pie cool until serving.
