Virginia Diner'S Peanut Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pre-baked pie crust (9 inch)
8 ounces salted virginia peanuts
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups light corn syrup
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
whipped cream (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Crush the peanuts with rolling pin or mallet.
Lightly beat the eggs; whisk in the sugar and flour until well combined.
Add corn syrup and peanuts, and then add butter.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is a rich golden brown, set around the edges, but still a little loose in the center. (If the crust gets too dark, tent the edges with a pie shield or foil during the last part of baking.).
Cool to room temperature.
Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
