Grandma Goff's Banana Cream Pie

My favorite banana cream pie recipe is from my Grandma Goff. When I first got married, Brent thought that banana cream pie was made from a box of instant jello pudding. He came to realize that Grandma Goff's homemade recipe is far superior. It is not only good in a banana cream pie, but it is also good just to eat as vanilla pudding.

Banana cream pie was always one of my favorite pies growing up. I loved the creamy filling with the yummy banana taste. I remember going to a friend's house one day and being offered some banana cream pie. I was very excited because I love banana cream. As soon as I put the first spoonful into my mouth I soon realized that it was not a fresh homemade pie, but one bought from the store. The taste was very strong and I did not enjoy it at all. My Grandma Goff's banana cream pie is so delicious with the perfect flavor. I rave to my friends about how good this pie is and have given it to many of them to try. This recipe will always be one of my favorites.
