for Banana Cream Pie
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
5 egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Heat almost to boiling point. Keep hot.
2. Put the 5 egg yolks into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat at medium speed, gradually pouring in the cup of sugar. Raise speed to high and beat until mixture thickens and turns a very pale ivory color.
3. Beat in the flour. While still beating, gradually pour in the hot milk.
4. Pour and scrape contents of bowl back into saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. It will get lumpy, but smooth back out again. When mixture comes to boil, reduce heat to low and cook 2 to 3 minutes, still stirring.
5. Remove from heat and beat in vanilla extract.
