Slice 3 bananas into your baked and cooled pie shell, set aside. Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium beat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks slightly and mix with 1 C cooked mixture. Pour back into pan and bring to a slow boil. Cook and stir 2 min more. Remove from heat.

Top with whipped cream.

I love banana cream pie, and this is my favorite recipe for it. It is from the Family Dinner Cookbook, and always hits the spot!
