In a large saucepan, stir together sugar, cornstarch, salt and milk until smooth.Bake in preheated oven at 375 F until golden brown.The dough must be well chilled before baking!!! Wrap with plastic wrap and set in the fridge or freezer. Using a fork poke the bottom of the crust or use pie weights. Trim dough to a 1-inch overhang, fold under, and seal to form a rim, then crimp the rim with fingertips. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch round, wrap around rolling pin and carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate and gently press into bottom and side of plate.Flatten the dough into disks, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.Add 2 tablespoons ice water and using your hands knead until dough comes together, DO NOT OVERDO IT!!! (If it’s still crumbly, add water a tablespoon at a time, up to 2 more tablespoons, but don’t use too much water or the crust will shrink while baking).Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix flour, salt and sugar in a medium-size bowl.The only problem about this homemade custard which is integral to the classic, old-fashioned taste is that you must use a 9 inch pie plate, not a deep dish, because the pie is really creamy and you want be able to take out the perfectly neat slices.

You could always use pre-made crust and instant pudding that’s ready in just minutes but the end result of homemade Old Fashioned Banana Cream Pie is swoon-worthy.
