How To Make peanut butter pie - from scratch - cass's

• 
  Step 1
  Prepare 9 inch pie crust. Could probably use graham cracker crust also. I prefer home made.
• 
  Step 2
  In a large saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, and stir occasionally.
• 
  Step 3
  In a medium-sized bowl, whisk cornstarch and water until smooth, then whisk in egg yolks.
• 
  Step 4
  Whisk egg mixture into boiling milk mixture and stir until thick, over medium heat. (This will thicken quickly)
• 
  Step 5
  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Pour into baked pie shell. ( You may want to taste the pudding at this point to see if it's enough peanut butter to your liking)
• 
  Step 6
  Chill, then top with whipped cream. I sometimes add chopped nuts and milk chocolate chips to garnish. This pie is delicious, if you are a peanut butter lover you should love this pie. This pie is also great with a layer of chocolate ganache on the crust before pouring the pudding into the crust.
