double thickness of foil. Bake in 450 oven 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 4
to 5 minutes more or until set and dry. Cool.
For filling, in a saucepan mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch. Gradually
stir in milk. Cook and stir till bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more.

yolks. Return all to saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2
minutes more . Remove from heat. Stir in margarine and vanilla. Cover
surface with plastic wrap.
Slice bananas 1/4 inch thick; toss with lemon juice. (You should have about

half the bananas and strawberries on top. Top with remaining filling,
bananas and strawberries. Cover; chill 1 to 6 hours.
