Ingredients
For Peanut Butter Pie Pastry:
- 1 1/2 cups sifted flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons of ice cold water
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Sift together flour, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until moist enough to hold together. Shape into a ball. Wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate 1 hour.
On a lightly floured board, roll out chilled pastry until large enough to line a 9-inch pie pan. Dust top lightly with flour and line pan. Prick all over with fork. Flute edges. Place in freezer 15-20 minutes. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool.
For Pie Filling:
- 3 egg yolks
- Pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- Baked pie shell (from above)
- 1 cup cream, whipped
- 1/2 cup peanuts, roasted
Combine egg yolks, salt and milk. Mix well. Place in heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until warm. Combine sugar and flour, gradually add to milk mixture, 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. Garnish with whipped cream and roasted peanuts

I have tried a few recipes for peanut butter pie and this is by far the best I tried.The filling turns out to be a pudding filling which I feel is how a peanut butter pie should be,unlike the recipes that call for a whole brick of cream cheese.The crust is good as well.My friends that tried it all loved and are begging me to make it again!
