Virginia Diner Peanut Pie

List of Ingredients




Makes 8 servings

2 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 pound salted Virginia peanuts, well beaten*
1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell




Recipe



* Peanuts should be placed in a white ham-wrapper bag and beaten with a wooden mallet. Bill Galloway, owner of the Virginia Diner in Wakefield, explains that beating the peanuts in a ham bag adds flavor. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, beat eggs. Add butter, sugar, syrup and flour. Stir in peanuts until well mixed. Pour into pastry crust. Bake in preheated oven until knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. (Filling will swell, brown and then settle.) Cool completely before slicing. -- Virginia Diner, Wakefield, Virginia
