Ingredients

• ¾ cup white sugar
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 3 egg yolks, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 (9 inch) baked pastry shell, cooled

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. 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. 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.
4. 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.
5. Fill pastry shell with sliced bananas; pour pudding mixture on top to cover.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until filling sets, 12 to 15 minutes.
7. Let pie cool completely on a wire rack, then chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
