Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir small amount of cooked filling into egg yolks. Combine with remaining hot mixture; cook for several minutes more. Add butter and vanilla. Pour into pie shell. Top with meringue.
Meringue: Beat egg whites until stiff; add cream of tartar. Mix sugar with cornstarch. Add gradually; beat stiff. Pile on pie; sprinkle with remaining peanut butter mixture. Bake in 400F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until delicately-browned. Cool before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
NOTES : I make the filling in the microwave oven instead of the double boiler, stirring the mixture several times during cooking.
