Ingredients

  • 3 Egg yolks
  • 2 Habanero's OPTIONAL
  • ½ Cup Sifted flour
  • Cup Sugar
  • teaspoon salt (pinch)
  • 3 Cups Milk 1% Milk worked great
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 Ripe Bananas
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Graham Cracker Pie Shell

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Powder Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Instructions

  • Separate egg yolk and egg white. Slightly beat egg yolks. Set aside for later.
  • Sift flour. It is essential to sift the flour. It makes the flour fluffier. Measure ½ cup after you sift the flour.
  • Mix together sugar, sifted flour, and salt in a saucepan.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and gradually add the milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  • Stirring constantly, continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil. It is essential to stir constantly so the mixture doesn't stick to the pan and burn.
  • Take a spoonful of the hot milk mixture and quickly stir it in with the beaten egg yolks. This heats the eggs slowly so they don't cook too fast. Repeat with another spoonful of the hot liquid and stir until it is combined with the egg yolks.
  • Stir the egg mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the milk. Boil for two more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
