Banana Meringue Pie!

1 pie crust

For the filling:
2/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. cornstarch
1/2 t. salt
3 c. milk
4 egg yolks
2 T. butter
1 T. vanilla
2 bananas, sliced

For the meringue
4 egg whites
1/4 t. cream of tartar
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 t. vanilla

Bake the pie crust and let cool.  In a saucepan, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.  Stir in the milk and egg yolks and whisk over medium heat until thick.  Remove from the heat and add butter and vanilla.  Pour half of the custard in the pie crust and top with sliced banana.  Pour the remaining custard over the top.  In an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.  Add sugar gradually until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla.  Spread the meringue over the top of the pie and bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the meringue browns on the edges.  Let cool for an hour before refrigerating overnight.
