Out of gazillion banana cream pie recipes I found online I chose this one for two reasons. First, I never like tasting flour in cream pies, and this recipe called for cornstarch instead. Second, because it uses whole eggs instead of only yolks, and since I always forget I have the whites, and end up wasting them, I was happy to not have to worry about that. Whatever richness I might have lost by using whole eggs was made up for by the simplicity and economy of the recipe, and the wonderful, familiar, comforting, old-fashioned flavor and texture. I did add about 1 1/2 tbs. extra cornstarch since some said it was a bit soft, simmered it a bit longer, and it was perfect. Definitely a keeper for me.

This pie was incredible! I followed the recipe exactly, and it was so easy! It tasted like a pie I would get in a restaurant. I made it for Thanksgiving for a friend who loves banana cream pie, and he loved it. Thanks Dejah, for a great recipe. I will make it again!
