1 9-inch pie crust

Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbl. cornstarch
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup light cream (half-and-half)
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 tbl. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. banana extract
1-2 bananas, depending on size

Whipped-Cream Topping:
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbl. sugar

Combine sugar, salt and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl and set aside.

Scald milk and cream and slowly beat in the sugar mixture. Cook on low heat until filling thickens.

Beat a small amount of this filling into your 3 beaten egg yolks. Mix thoroughly, then incorporate egg mixture into the filling. Cook at low temperature, stirring constantly, until thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add butter and flavorings. Pour 1/3 of filling into prebaked pie shell. Slice bananas on top. Add remainder of the filling.

Let cool. Beat topping ingredients together until thick. Spread on the pie.
