Directions:
Put the heavy cream, 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup sugar into a saucepan over medium heat and scald, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together the cornstarch, flour, and 1/4 cup sugar. Add the egg yolks and 1/2 cup milk. Whisk this mixture into the hot liquid, pouring slowly and whisking quickly to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the extracts and butter, stir until the butter melts. Let filling cool 10 minutes. Spoon about a cup of filling into the pie shell and spread to coat the bottom. Cover with banana slices. Pour remaining filling on top. Put plastic wrap directly on filling. Chill at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream.
