Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens. Continue to cook and stir for 2 more minutes, then remove from the heat.

Step 3

Fill pastry shell with sliced bananas; pour pudding mixture on top to cover.

Step 4

Place egg yolks in a medium bowl; whisk in a small amount of the hot milk mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk egg yolk mixture into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until filling sets, 12 to 15 minutes. Let pie cool completely on a wire rack, then chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
