This post entitled “Grandma’s Cooking School: Banana Cream Pie” was originally posted on February 10, 2010 on Cooking for Seven. Because these lessons were such an important part of my life, I will be re-posting them here.
{Grandma’s Cooking School is my chronicles of the informal cooking lessons that my Grandma graciously decided to give us girls. Enjoy!}
Grandma is such a patient, joyful teacher. She doesn’t have to do everything to make sure we do it right. She encourages us to be involved in every step.
It seems she has magical hands. From years of experience, she knows little secrets to success. Like adding a little water to your pan before you pour in the milk to keep it from scalding.
This pie is so delicious. I won’t lie and say it’s easy, because it isn’t – especially if you decide to make French Custard for the filling and meringue for the topping. But it is worth it.

That looks delicious! Banana cream pie is a favorite :-) I cherish the memories of being in the kitchen with my grandma. Her specialties were oven-fried chicken, frosted walnut brownies, and lots of Scottish heritage recipes.
