Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/3 cup peanut butter

3 egg yolks -- beaten

3/4 cup confectioner's sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

9 pie crust (9 inch) -- baked

--CREAM FILLING--

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk -- scalded

--MERINGUE--

3 egg whites

9 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon cornstarch

 

The key to pleasing the pallet of a Peanut Butter Pie connoisseur is to not mix

the peanut butter into the filling. Note that everything is made from scratch.

This extra effort will reward you with excellent flavors. The following recipe

is from the private collection of a deceased Swedish woman who with her husband,

Olaf Simonsen, operated a restaurant for over 25 years in Ft. Pierce, Fla..

They were famous, statewide, for their Peanut Butter Pie. This recipe is

published in the " Indian River Cuisine " .

 

Set oven 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Blend peanut butter and confectioners

sugar together as for pastry until well mixed and mealy. Spread about 2/3 of

mixture over baked pie crust. Reserve remainder for top. Combine flour, sugar,

and salt together; blend in scaled milk. Blend mixture into slightly beaten egg

yolks. Return to double boiler and cook about 2 minutes more. Add butter and

vanilla. Turn into pie shell and top with meringue. For meringue, beat egg

whites until stiff

enough to hold their shape. Add cream of tartar and beat until blended. Mix

sugar and cornstarch and add to egg whites. Beat until very stiff. Spread on

filled pie shell and sprinkle on remaining peanut butter crumbs. Bake in 350

degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Cool away from draft.
