Banana Cream Pie by Grandma Crandall

I hope Jeff's family doesn't mind me posting this but it is AMAZING. Once you have it you will never go back to your pudding mix Banana cream pie. This is the real deal. Enjoy!

2 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
2 egg yolks
1 TBSP butter
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Bananas
Whipped Cream (for the topping-Cool Whip isn't going to cut it with this pie-you need the real thing!)
Pie Crust

***NOTE: Corn starch gets lumpy when it is added to HOT liquid. To avoid lumpiness, simply combine the cornstarch with the cold mix first(mom puts it in a jar and shakes vigorously) and then add the milk as instructed.***

Directions:

Boil milk slowly and stir in sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg yolks with a little milk. Should be cake mix consistency. Cook and boil until thickened.

Take pan off stove and add butter and vanilla. Cool.

In crust put the pie mixture, then spread the sliced bananas and then add the rest of the pie mixture.

Enjoy
