Pie dough, 9 inch
2/3 c. sugar
3 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs, separated
2 c. milk
2 tsp. milk
1 1/2 tbsp. butter, melted
2 bananas, sliced

Prebake pie shell; preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the sugar, flour, salt and lightly beaten egg yolks in a bowl. (Reserve the whites for meringue topping.) Scald the milk in a pan and slowly add it to the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Pour back into the pan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until thickened.

Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Spread melted butter with a knife over the top of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Cover and chill. Shortly before serving, cover the bottom of the baked pie shell with sliced bananas. Add the chilled custard, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
