1 9 inch Pie Crust (pre-made or you can use your recipe to make one)

3 cups Whole Milk

¾ cup Sugar, granulated

⅓ cup Flour, all-purpose

¼ tsp Salt

3 Egg Yolks, slightly beaten

2 tbsp Unsalted Butter

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

3 Bananas

Have baked 9-inch pie shell ready

In a large saucepan, scald the milk

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

Over medium heat, stirring constantly, cook until thickened

Cover and, stirring occasionally, cook for two minutes longer

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

Cook for one minute longer, stirring constantly

Remove from heat and blend in the butter and vanilla

Let sit until lukewarm

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

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

Note:

If you leave out the bananas, you have vanilla cream pie

If you add 1 cup shredded coconut to milk as it's being heated, you have coconut cream pie
