  • Preheat the oven to 180° C
  • In an electric mixer with the dough hook, beat the butter until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one by one, along with the flour and a pinch of salt, and beat until a dough forms. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Place the dough on a clean surface dusted with flour and roll it out until it reaches the size of the pie dish. Place the dish on the dough and cut off the excess with a knife. With your hands, place the dough in the dish.
  • Bake for 35 minutes (with weights for baking). Remove from the oven.
  • In a pot, heat the milk with the vanilla extract until it boils. Remove from heat and, using a whisk, beat while gradually incorporating the egg yolks and sugar. Then add the cornstarch and continue mixing with the whisk.
  • Return the pot to the heat and cook for 5 minutes; the mixture should resemble a custard. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
  • Slice the bananas and add to the custard. Mix well.
  • Pour the mixture over the pie crust, ensuring that the banana does not come out of the custard to avoid darkening. Smooth the surface, cover the pies with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 7 hours before serving.
