1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cornstarch or 1/4 c. flour
2 c. milk, scalded
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 baked 9 inch pie shell
3 ripe bananas

Mix sugar, salt, and cornstarch or flour. Gradually add to milk. Stir over low heat until thick. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into eggs. Then pour eggs back into remaining hot mixture while beating. Continue cooking 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.

Add butter and vanilla. Cool thoroughly. (Hot fillings change the flavor of the bananas.) Line pie shell with bananas. Line pie shell with layer of cooled filling. Cover immediately with remaining filing. Top with whipped cream and banana slices, if desired.
