This is an old family favorite my mom made when I was a child. I've changed the recipe slightly, but it still brings back those delightful childhood memories.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
