Coconut Pie

(6)

My grandma "Sweet Pea" was considering sharing her persimmon pudding recipe with Epicurious, but was afraid some Yankees wouldn't understand it. This pie is just as sweet though, and very simple to prepare.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 pies (each pie serves 6)

Ingredients

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 stick margarine or butter, melted
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 14-ounce can coconut
2 unbaked 8-inch pie shells

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Mix in sugar and flour. Add other ingredients in order (ending with the coconut), mixing to combine. Divide the mixture into 2 pie shells. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F. Place the pies inside the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
