Grandma Roundy's Banana or Coconut Cream Pie

This is Jaeson's Grandma's prized recipe, and believe me it's gold if you can get it just right. She's got quite the knack for it and I'm still getting there.

2 1/3 c. milk
1/3 c. sugar

Scald these to be VERY HOT.


Mix together:

1/3 c. sugar
3 T. flour
3 T. (heaping/mounded Tablespoons) cornstarch
1/8 t. salt (scant)
1/3 c. milk
Make a smooth paste.

Reduce heat on milk and sugar. Whisk paste mixture into HOT scalded milk and sugar. Stir until thick. Temper in 2 beaten egg yolks. Cook 2-3 min. just to cook egg yolks; don't over cook here. Remove from heat. Add 1 T. butter right on top; don't mix the butter in; it's there to prevent a skin from forming on top. Let the filling cool way down before stirring in the butter and 1 t. vanilla. Pour into pie crust. Chill. Serve topped with cream and banana slices or toasted coconut.
