1. In a large saucepan or double boiler combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Mix well, then stir in milk and egg yolks. Whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and 1 tablespoon vanilla.


2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.) Pour half of custard into baked pie shell. Cover with sliced banana. Spread remaining custard over banana layer.


3. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, covering completely.

The easy way to do it is to buy a commercial unbaked pie crust. Bake it.





Next get the Jell-O banana pudding that you cook (not the instant). Hide the box, but memorize the directions before you do.





If your son is old enough, have him cut the bananas into slices while you cook the pudding. This impresses on him that it is homemade and he helped.





When the pie crust is cooled, he gets to lay the banana slices in the bottom. Pour in the pudding and let it set.





Separate some eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Top the pie with the meringue and stick in the oven until the meringue is set.





I don't do the meringue part so someone will have to give you directions on it.
Cream Pie


The plain corn-starch custard mixture used for cream pie may be flavored as desired. The combination of lemon and vanilla is suggested here to give something a little unusual. If the pie is to be eaten at once upon being made, a layer of sliced bananas or other fresh fruit may be placed on the crust and the custard poured over it after being cooked sufficiently not to affect the fruit. In such an event, the meringue must be baked very quickly, or whipped cream may be used in place of it. This pie may be made with one egg if desired.





Ingredients


2 1/2 cups milk


1 cup sugar


1/2 cup flour


1/8 teaspoon salt


2 eggs


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


1/2 teaspoon lemon extract


Instructions


Scald the milk in a double boiler. Mix the sugar, flour, and salt and stir into the hot milk. Cook over the fire until the flour has thickened. Place in a double boiler and cook for 10 or 15 minutes longer. Beat the yolks of the eggs and add them to the mixture. Remove from the heat, add the flavoring, and pour into the baked crust of a pie. Make meringue of the whites of the eggs, cover the mixture, place in a moderate oven, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
this is my husbands fav pie too. I buy a ready-made butter cookie pie shell from the grocery store., vanilla pudding and pie filling(the one you cook) I find the banana flavoured one too sweet and artificial tasting.,fresh bananas(2 large),coolwhip
