HOMEMADE Banana Cream Pie
(when I make banana cream pie, I use vanilla pudding, but you could increase the milk by about 1/4 - 1/2 cup and add 2 pureed banana's to the mixture).
This recipe is for a 9" pie crust

2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbl flour
3 cups milk
3 egg yolks slightly beaten
1 tbl butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 large banana's (plus any you may put in your pudding).

In saucepan mix/combine sugar, salt, cornstarch, flour. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and slowly stir half the mixture into the egg yolks. Bring the mixture back to a boil - and boil for 1 additional minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and blend in the butter and vanilla.

Arrange the 3 sliced bananas on the cooked & cooled pie shell in a deep pie plate. Cool (stirring occasionally) the pudding mixture. Pour over the banana's in the pie shell. When serving, top with whipped cream!!!
