Ingredients:

6.5oz flaked coconut

3 large eggs

6 TBS unsalted butter, softened, not melted. If melted, pie will be oily.

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

1 cup sugar

2 TBS all-purpose flour

Directions:

(Do not use electric mixer.)

Combine all dry ingedients in a large bowl

Add butter and vanilla; hand mix until combined

Add eggs one at a time, hand mixing each

Add evaporated milk, hand mix to combine

Mix in the coconut

Pour into a Crisco-greased 9″ pie pan.  Pie pan will be very full. (See Carrie’s notes below.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes

Carrie’s Notes:

“Tried with 8.5 oz coconut first.  Dilutes custard too much.”

“Can do 9″ or 10″ pie plate. Paul likes 9” better.
