Granny's Banana Cream Pie

My family thought this was great. I don't really like banana cream much, but still would give it four stars. I rated it as a five because everyone else in my family loved it. This was the first cream pie I have made and the instructions were really easy to follow. I beat my egg yolks with a hand mixer until they were pretty pale because that is what I have done when I made custards in the past. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do this or not or if it made any difference in the recipe. Make sure you heat the milk, flour, and sugar slowly. I was getting a little ADHD while I was making it so I turned it up and left it alone for a little while. Oops! The sugar burnt and I had to start over. It turned out great the second time, though. My pie crust was a little shallow so I only put about 1 1/2 bananas in. I think next time I make it, I would cut the sugar back a little, it seemed a little bit too sweet to me, but everyone else thought it was fine. Thanks much!!

Wonderful!!! This pie filling will stand up to any I have ever tasted! Very easy to follow directions. I used bananas that were pretty ripe, so I only used two of them. The filling is very creamy, great homemade taste. I made whipped cream using heavy cream. It was fantastic!! This goes into my keepers file! Thanks NurseDi!!!

I've made this pie a couple of times now. It goes together nicely, however I found the mixture a little too thick to just pour over the bananas. I didn't want gaps between the bananas so I mixed them in to custard and then poured mixture into pie crust. Nice Pie!
