Bottled Grandma and Peanut Butter Pie

Why is it that God made the perfect specimen of a woman in the form of Grandma? Pondering this feeling, surly one doesn’t see this in their mother-in-law…unless you look through the eyes of your children. And viola, there it is; a fond reminder of something pleasant.

The feeling is not unlike powdered sugar or warm custard. It doesn’t last long but remains forever. If you want to reacquaint yourself with that yesterday feeling, make this pie and take your first bite with your eyes closed.

            PEANUT BUTTER PIE
                        ½ c      Peanut Butter
                        ¾ c      Powdered Sugar

                        (mix together until  crumbly. Pour 2/3 mix into bottom of baked pie shell)
                        In a pan, mix together the following:

                        2T        Sugar (use heaping tablespoons)
                        2T        Cornstarch
                        2          Egg Yolks (Whip the whites in to a meringue and chill)
                        2c        Milk
                        1½T     Flour
                                    Pinch of salt

Cook above on medium until thick.  Pout over crumb mix. Top with meringue and sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.
