French Coconut Pie

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted & cooled

2 eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 (3 1/2–ounce) can shredded sweetened coconut (about 1 cup)

1 cup milk

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, flour, sugar, coconut, and milk. Pour into pie shell. Bake until firm, about 45 to 60 minutes.

**TIP: if you like more of a custard pie make substitutions as follow.

3 eggs, beaten

2 TBL flour

1-1/2 cups milk

1/2 stick butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar 

1 cup flaked coconut

Make sure you add the butter to the milk, sugar and flour BEFORE you add the beaten eggs because you want the butter to cool. Otherwise, you would end up with scrambled eggs. I use an immersion blender to make sure that everything is blended well before pouring into the pie shell.
