1 tsp vanilla
2 bananas, sliced
baked pastry shell
Scald milk. In the top of a double boiler pan, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Slowly add the scalded milk to the flour mixture, stirring constantly until smooth. Cook slowly in the double boiler until smooth and thick, about 15 minutes. Beat egg yolks slightly and add a small amount of the hot mixture to them and beat constantly till smooth. Quickly add the egg mixture to the double boiler and stir constantly. Cook about 3 minutes more. Add the butter and vanilla; stir in to blend well. Remove top of double boiler from the stove. While mixture cools slightly, slice the bananas into the pie shell. Cover bananas with the filling mixture. Serve with dollops of whipped cream or use the egg whites to make a meringue and make this a banana meringue pie. Either way, it is delicious.
SELF-RISING FLOUR PIE CRUST
2 cups self-rising flour
2/3 cup solid shortening
6 to 8 tbsp water
Cut flour and shortening together until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Add the water, starting with 6 tablespoons, and mix until a stiff dough is formed. Gradually add more of the water, if needed. Divide the dough half. Roll half of the dough to a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a pie plate. Add the filling. Roll remaining dough like the first half and use over the top of the filling. Using your fingers, turn the edges of the dough under to seal and press into a scalloped designed edge. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake according to the pie recipe.
Note: To make 1 pie crust for the above pie, divide ingredients in half. Continue instructions above. Fit the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. With a fork, make some holes in the bottom and sides of dough to allow air to escape. Without this, the crust will puff up. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly brown. Check often and if puffing occurs, stick fork into the puffing area. Allow to cool before filling.
Enjoy!
