OLD-FASHIONED BANANA CREAM PIE
Before Cool Whip and instant pudding, this was how a cream pie was made. If you leave out the bananas, you have vanilla cream pie. If you add 1 cup shredded coconut to milk as it's being heated, you have coconut cream pie.

OLD-FASHIONED BANANA CREAM PIE WITH CHOCOLATE PASTRY
MMMmmmm. Found this recipe in my local grocer's flyer. Love the banana and chocolate combo. The crust stuck in the pan a bit when I made it, thus the suggestion to lightly spray the pan before you start. Preparation does not include chilling time of about 2 hours.

Steps:
- 1. Pie Crust. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees (F). Prepare a pie crust for a 9 inch deep dish pie pan (I use acrylic). Flute the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Press aluminum foil against the inside of the pie dough and weight it to stabilize the crust. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the aluminum and the weights. Reduce the oven to 375 degrees and return the pie crust and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Crust should be nicely brown.
- 2. Custard mixture. Mix together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add, the milk and the egg yolks. Put the mixture in a medium saucepan an cook on medium to medium high, whisking the mixture constantly until large boil bubbles form. (Note: unless the custard begins to boil. the corn starch will not sufficiently thicken the mixture). Reduce heat until the custard thickens. Remove from heat and add the cut up butter and the vanilla and whisk well. Add one half of the custanrd to the prepared pie shell. Cut up the bananas and completey cover the custard. Add the remaining custard to cover the banana layer.
- 3. The Meringue. With a hand mixer, mix the egg whites and the cream of tarter until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and the vanilla and beat at high speed until stiff. Spread evenly over the top of the pie. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes until the meringue is nicely brown. Allow the pie to cool.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
- Use a deep dish pie plate. This will help prevent the filling from spilling over.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the meringue tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the meringue is lightly browned.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set.
