Does anyone have a recipe or experience making a Peanut Pie?
Not a peanut butter pie, this recipe would not include peanut butter.
I saw this pie on DDD and was intrigued. On different recipe sites I see it refered to as a "virginia peanut pie" or pecan pie with peanuts.
At this point, I'm planning on making this recipe.
Virginia Diner Peanut Pie
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
* 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
