INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (9-inch) pie shell, baked, cooled
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups milk
  • 3 egg yolks -- slightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 ripe bananas, thinly sliced
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

PREPARATION:

Mix 1/3 cup sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan; add milk gradually, stirring until smooth. Cook until mixture boils, stirring constantly. Mix a small portion of the hot mixture with egg yolks, return to saucepan and boil for 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add vanilla and butter. Cool. Place bananas in bottom of cooled shell, add filling and top with meringue.
Meringue:
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Add the 1/3 cup sugar gradually. Continue beating egg whites until they hold a glossy peak. Spoon meringue onto filling, sealing to the edge of crust. Bake at 375° for about 10 minutes, or until nicely browned.
