List of Ingredients





2 cups flour (divided use)

½ teaspoon plus 1 pinch of salt (divided use)

¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (divided use)

½ cup shortening

2 to 3 tablespoons ice-cold water

3 egg yolks

2 ½ cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup smooth peanut butter

1 cup whipped cream

½ cup roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped



Pie shell: Sift together 1 ½ cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cut in shortening until it resembles corn meal. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until moist enough to hold together. Shape into a ball. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate 1 hour.

On lightly floured board, roll out chilled pastry dough until large enough to line 9-inch pie pan. Dust top of rolled dough lightly with flour, line pan, then prick dough all over with fork. Flute edges and place in freezer 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 F. Bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes, and cool.


Filling: Combine egg yolks, pinch of salt and milk and mix well. Place in heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until warm. Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour in bowl; gradually add to milk mixture in saucepan, stirring constantly until thickened. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and peanut butter. Let cool slightly.

Pour filling into cooled pie shell. Chill thoroughly. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped peanuts. Makes 8 servings.
