Banana Cream Pie

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour or 3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) baked pie shell
3 or 4 bananas

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour or cornstarch and salt. Add milk in gradually while stirring gently. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Keep stirring and cook for about 2 more minutes, and then remove from the burner.

Stir a small quantity of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, and immediately add egg yolk mixture to the rest of the hot mixture. Cook for 2 minutes; remember to keep stirring. Remove the mixture from the stove, and add butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the whole thing has a smooth consistency.

Slice bananas into the cooled baked pastry shell. Top with pudding mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes. Chill for one hour.
