This is an old family favorite my mom made when I was a child. I've changed the recipe slightly, but it still brings back those delightful childhood memories. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
6 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups milk |
3 egg yolks, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter |
1 graham cracker crust (9 inches), baked |
1 ounce semisweet chocolate, melted |
whipped cream and chopped salted peanuts |
chopped peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, salt and milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
2. Stir 1 cup of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in vanilla. Cool slightly.
3. Divide mixture in half. To one portion, gently stir in peanut butter; pour into prepared crust. Gently stir chocolate into the remaining portion; pour over top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Just before serving, garnish with whipped cream and peanuts. Yield: 8 servings.
