How to Make Banana Cream Pie

  3. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium pot.
  4. Add cold milk and egg yolks to the mixture, whisking until smooth.
  5. Heat the mixture over medium flame, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in butter and vanilla extract after removing from heat.
  7. Layer banana slices in the cooled pie crust, pouring the warm custard filling over the bananas.
  8. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
