For Father's Day my dad only wanted a banana cream pie (his favorite). Of course it had to be homemade and not a pudding packet. No problem. I used a very simple recipe and it didn't take long to set either.
3 cups of milk scolded was added to another pot filled with 3/4cups of sugar, 1/4cups of flour, 1/4tsp of salt. Over medium heat cook until thickened stirring constantly. Cover and stir occasionally for 2 minutes. In a small bowl have 3 egg yolks. When 2 minutes is up add very little of the milk mixture to the eggs stir then add the eggs to the milk mixture. Cook for one minute longer. Remove from heat add 2 tablespoons of butter and a teaspoon of vanilla. Let it sit til lukewarm. Have a baked pie shell ready, cut 3 bananas into slices and scatter among the bottom of the pie crust. Add pie mixture when cooled enough. Don't wait to long or te mixture would have set to much and it would be hard to add to the pie crust.
My dad loves Reese's so I placed them around the edges of the pie to have a scalloped look to it.
