Banana Cream Pie

Step 1

In a medium saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch and salt; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Reduce heat, cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks slightly. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Return egg mixture to saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla, butter and three of the sliced bananas. Use the remaining sliced banana to cover the bottom of the pie crust. Pour filling on top. Bake at 350 degrees in oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Prepare the topping by beating the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Place the topping onto the banana filling, chill for 1-2 hours before eating.
