2 1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
2 1/2 heaping spoons cornstarch
3 egg yolks
vanilla

Put milk on stove and add 1/4 cup sugar. Let get hot but not boiling. Put the rest of sugar in bowl with cornstarch and add some milk to make paste. (I use a little milk out of container for this.) Add egg yolks and beat. When milk gets hot, add this mixture to milk and stir until thick. Add coconut.

For Chocolate Pie: Add about 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa to sugar and cornstarch.

For Banana: Just use plain pudding and add bananas. Top pies with meringue.
