PEANUT
BUTTER PIE
1 baked 9-inch pie crust
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter
Vi cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cornstarch
X A teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
Vi cup peanut butter
Wi cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup whipping cream
Put milk, butter, and sugar in
a heavy saucepan and heat until
almost boiling.
Beat together eggs, cornstarch,
and salt, and add to milk, stirring
all the time until thick. (I like to
add a little of the hot milk to egg
mixture before pouring into the
milk. I also use a wire whisk as
the pudding gets smoother). Add
one teaspoon vanilla.
Mix peanut butter and confec
tioner’s sugar together to make
crumbs. Save two tablespoons
crumbs to put on top of pie.
Sprinkle the rest of the crumbs in
the bottom of the pie crust and
pour warm pudding on top. Let
cool, then whip one cup whip
ping cream and put on top of pie.
Sprinkle crumbs on top.
This pie is my husband and
three sons’ favorite pie. I used
to work as a cook at a restau
rant where I learned to make it.
Although we don’t live on a
farm my husband and I both
grew up on a dairy farm and
our sons, ages 5 and 3 years old
and a one-year-old, love to go
to the uncle’s farm about a
quarter mile down the road
from us.
