Banana Cream Pie

Tonight was Pie Night at my in-laws since not everyone will be together for Thanksgiving this week. I'm not much of a pie person but I wanted to make a banana cream pie. Yummy. Original recipe can be found here. After reading some reviews and finding out how my mom makes it this is my version. It must have turned out great because there was only 1 piece left.

Banana Cream Pie
3/4 c. white sugar
2T + 1/2 t. cornstarch
1/4 t. salt
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 T butter
1 1/4 t. vanilla
1 nine-inch pie crust, baked
3 bananas, sliced

1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add milk in gradually while stirring gently. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Cook and stir for about 2 more minutes, and then remove from the burner.
2. Stir a small quantity of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, and immediately add egg yolk mixture to the rest of the hot mixture (this keeps the eggs from scrambling). Cook for 2 more minutes; remember to keep stirring. Remove the mixture from the stove, and add butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
3. Slice 2 bananas into the cooled baked pastry shell. Top with pudding mixture.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and chill over night. Top with more bananas just before serving.
