I found this recipe while I was looking for a Banana Pie recipe in China. I loved the simplicity of this recipe. Perfect for one premade pie crust or an 8" pie pan.
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons softened butter
1-2 bananas peeled and sliced.
1. Mix sugar, flour and salt in a medium size sauce pan.
2. In a separate bowl beat the eggs. Add to the sugar/ flour/ salt mixture in the pan. Stir well, especially in the corners to get it mixed together well.
3. Stir in the milk.
4. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, always cleaning out the corners.
5. When the mixture starts to thicken and have bubbles, remove from the heat. Keep stirring and cool slightly.
6. Stir in the vanilla and the butter until it's smooth.
For a Pie:
Layer the bananas in the pie crust. Pour the pudding in the pie over the bananas while it is still warm. Cool in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
For Pudding:
Put some vanilla wafers in a cup. Pour in some pudding, add some more vanilla wafers, layering as you like.
