Grandma's Frosting

1/2 c. butter -- room temperature
1/2 c. Crisco  (I guess you could use palm oil -- I haven't tried it but that is what I use instead of Crisco for pie crusts)
2 lb. powdered sugar
6 Tb milk (is you use half and half, it is creamier)
1 tsp. vanilla

here is the other recipe:

1/3. c canned milk or half and half
1/3. c. Crisco
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar

Grandma Goff’s Banana Cream Pie

2/3-3/4 c. sugar
2 c. scaled milk
1/3c. +1 TB flour
3 egg yolks
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. vanilla
2-3 bananas
1 TB. butter


Mix dry ingredients together. Slowly add the scalded milk into the dry mixture. Pour mixture back into the pan and heat until more thick. After pudding has thickened, slowly pour some of the pudding from the pan into the egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Pour egg yolk mixture back into pan and add the vanilla and butter. Layer bananas on cooked pie crust, add the pudding mixture and continue this until all bananas and pudding are gone.
