 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      Cup           Milk
      1/2  Cup           Sugar
    3      Tablespoons   Flour
      1/8  Teaspoon      Salt
    2                    Egg Yolks -- slightly beaten
    1      Large         Banana -- mashed
    2      Tablespoons   Lemon juice
 
 Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan until very hot but not boiling.
 Mix the sugar, flour, and salt together in a bowl, stir in the hot
 milk, and beat until well blended.  Pour back into the pan and
 continue stirring vigorously over low heat for 4-5 minutes, until very
 thick and smooth.  Add the egg yolks and cook for a few more minutes.
 Cool.
 
 Mash the banana and beat it until smooth, add the lemon juice and stir
 the mixture into the cooled filling.
