Ingredients
- Dough for single-crust pie
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 firm medium bananas

Directions
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

- Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt; stir in milk and mix well. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
- Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount into egg yolks; return all to saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes; remove from the heat.
- Add butter and vanilla; cool slightly.
- Slice bananas into crust; pour filling over top.
- Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator.
