Banana Cream Pie

This is actually a post from the Bossy blog I have with my sisters.

We love this recipe because it is delicious, basic, and so simple. Kids can help poke holes in the pie crust before baking, and line the baked pie crust with the sliced bananas. Good in the winter, good in the summer--it is always a family favorite!




Banana Cream Pie
Prep: 25 min. Makes: a pie

2 T butter
2 C milk
1/4 t salt
3/4 C sugar
1/3 C all purpose flour
1 t vanilla extract
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 pie crust, baked
2 bananas
whipped cream topping

1. Bake a pie crust (for ease, I prefer the pre-made rolled pie crust dough, put into my own glass pie dish).
2. Lightly beat egg yolks in a bowl.
3. In a pot on medium high heat, mix: butter, milk, salt, flour, and sugar. Bring to a boil and stir for about 2 minutes.
4. Turning heat down for just a moment, take a little of the mixture out and add to the beaten egg yolks, stirring well.
5. Add egg yolk mixture back into the pot, stirring well, add vanilla. Bring to a boil and stir for 2 more minutes.
6. Cover pie crust with sliced bananas, and fill with pudding mixture to top.
7. Cool and let set in refrigerator. Top with whipped cream topping before serving (I prefer to make a basic whipped cream from scratch).
