BANANA CREAM PIE!

Really hungry for something fattening.........looked all around for something to bake........saw the bananas and decided on banana cream pie!  Much easier than you may think........please don't use those packaged pudding mixes........you are actually only buying, cornstarch, dehydrated eggs and flavoring..........I guess.

First bake your pie crust.........I'll go along with a prepared pie crust if you insist.....they really aren't bad.  The Pillsbury ones that you roll out.  Let it cool.

In a large saucepan.......put 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 tsp salt....mix it up and add 3 cups of milk (whole) that you have stirred 4 egg yolks into.........Bring this all to a boil, stirring all the while with a whisk.  Let boil 1 minute........remove from heat and stir in 2 Tblsp butter and a good shot of vanilla.  Cool about 30 min.  Stir now and then while cooling.

Now slice 2 or more bananas in the bottom of your cooled crust.........Pour the pudding over the bananas and place in the frig for at least 2 hours...........til firm......I always serve with a dollop of real whipped cream.............Oh, can't wait to eat this tonight while watching IDOL!
