Before cool whip and instant pudding, this is how a cream pie was made. If you leave out the bananas, you have vanilla cream pie. If you add 1 cup shredded coconut to milk as it's being heated, you have coconut cream pie.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 9-inch pie shell, baked
3 cups whole milk
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 bananas

Directions

1
Have baked 9-inch pie shell ready.
2
In a large saucepan, scald the milk.
3
In another saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in the scalded milk.
4
Over medium heat, stirring constantly, cook until thickened.
5
Cover and, stirring occasionally, cook for two minutes longer.
6
In a small bowl, have the 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten, ready; stir a small amount of the hot mixture into beaten yolks; when thoroughly combined, stir yolks into hot mixture.
7
Cook for one minute longer, stirring constantly.
8
Remove from heat and blend in the butter and vanilla.
9
Let sit until lukewarm.
10
When ready to pour, slice bananas and scatter in pie shell; pour warm mixture over bananas.
11
If desired, make a meringue (you'll have 3 leftover egg whites) to top the pie, or just let the pie cool until serving.

Excellent pie. Easy to make and delicious. My kids love puddings too, so I can see we will be making this in all its pudding variations as well: vanilla, coconut or banana. Almost as easy as pudding out of the box but much tastier! Update..this was so good I couldn't wait to try it again as a coconut cream pie. My daughter suggested I cover top with plastic wrap as it cooled and top it with whipped cream before serving. Divine!

At the advice of my mom, I decided to make this for my Survivor group last night. It was a hit. I found it very easy to make. My only problem was that I didn't make enough. I thought one pie would be sufficient for 6 people, but as most everyone wanted seconds I should have made two. Thanks for sharing Lennie.
