Baking pies on a rainy day.

here's the recipe~

Coconut Pie

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk

3 yolk, lightly beaten

1 cup faked coconut

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 pastry shell (9 inches) baked

Meringue

3 egg whites

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

6 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup flaked coconut

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in coconut, butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Pour hot filling into crust.

For meringue~ in a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. sprinkle with coconut.

Bake at 350 until the meringue is golden.

Good Gosh Girl how many eggs did you use, a
full dozen!!! That is one pretty pie and I bet it didn't last long. After Milton and Tony got to it I bet that pan was empty and shiny. HaHa!!!

Your pie is sky high! (Or, it was. Perhaps it's been consumed by now.)

Coconut pie is my very favorite! My mother in law is a pro so we beg her to make them from time to time.
