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.

"Too pasty tasting. Cornstarch would be much better to use as a thickening agent. I didn't think it was ""creamy"" at all. I was in a hurry and couldn't find my usual so I found this on line. I would NOT make it again."
