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.
