Virginia Diner Peanut Pie


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, which adds flavor.
Preheat oven to 375°. 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.
Makes 8 servings.
