Method
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set aside the whites to use for the meringue.
- Add all the yolks, milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a medium saucepan. Whisk the mixture just enough to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to boil or thickens. Stir constantly to prevent burning on the bottom.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla until smooth.
- Add the sliced bananas and mix well.
- Pour into the baked pie crust.
- Start making the meringue topping by placing the egg whites in a mixing bowl. Beat until the whites form soft peaks
- Add salt and then start adding sugar one or two tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition until all the sugar has been added.
- When all the sugar has been added, continue to beat the meringue until it forms stiff peaks. Add cream of tartar and beat just enough to mix in. Do not overbeat at this point.
- Pour the meringue into the warm pie filling and spread it evenly, making sure that the meringue touches the crust around the edges so that there are no gaps between it and the crust.
- Form the tops on the meringue and place on the bottom rack of an oven preheated to 350°F (176).°C). Bake for 9 or 10 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned. Watch carefully, because it will brown quickly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to thicken properly.
