French Coconut Pie!

 



French Coconut Pie is such a delicious, decadent dessert, but it's really quite easy to make.  This recipe turns out great every time.   If you are not an experienced baker or just don't bake much and you want to impress company or someone special, this is the pie to make!  Here is what you will need:

1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 Tbs. self rising flour
3 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla
1  1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 deep dish pie shell or pastry for a deep dish pie

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together butter and sugar.  Add flour, eggs,  and buttermilk and mix well.  Add vanilla and coconut.

Place the pie shell in a deep dish pie plate. Place the pie plate on a cookie sheet and pour the mixture into shell.  Place on the center rack of the oven set at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.   Decrease the temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 40 minutes.   The top should be just slightly browned.

  Remove and cool before slicing.

 

 

Serve with or without a dollop of whipped cream!
