Banana Cream Pie
1/1/12
What better way to start out the New Year than making a pie. We tried the Banana Cream Pie again and this time it worked. We need to give credit to our new Paula Dean double boiler, it sure made it a lot easier to end up with a creamy filling. The only thing I didn't like is when the vanilla is added it turns the off-white filling a little brown, but it tasted great.
