Banana Cream Pie


Author Julie Ulrich

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar

Filling:

  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1/3 c. flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 T. butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 4 bananas sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine Flour, room temperature butter, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Then use your fingers to press the dough into a pie pan. It’s easier to do this if you dip your fingers in a little flour first so the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, this isn’t necessarily a PRETTY pie, it’s just easy and delicious. Prick with a fork so you don’t get air bubbles under the crust.
  2. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, or until it’s a light golden brown on the edges.
  3. Mix sugar flour and salt in a large microwaveable bowl. Gradually add milk and cream. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes. Stopping to stir every minute or so. Continue cooking until it’s thick and would coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Add beaten egg yolks slowly so not to cook yolks. Mix in well. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add vanilla and butter. Mix 2 sliced bananas into the filling. Then slice the other bananas and line the crust with them. Pour the banana filling into the crust. Refrigerate until cold. Top with whipped cream!
