1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 3/4 sticks butter. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Add boiling water, let the mixture bubble up for about 10 seconds, then remove from heat.
