Coconut Pie
|
| The flavor of coconut added
to an already delicious corn-starch custard makes a pie that never fails
to tempt the appetite of every one.
Ingredients:
1 Easy Pie Pastry mixture
2 cups milk
1 cup coconut
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup corn starch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation:
-
Prepare Easy Pie Pastry mixture,
cover and refrigerate.
-
Put the milk in a double boiler
and steep the coconut in it until the milk is hot.
-
Mix the sugar, corn starch,
and salt, add to the milk, and cook directly over the flame until the mixture
has thickened.
-
Return to the double boiler
and cook for 10 or 15 minutes longer.
-
Remove from the heat, add the
vanilla, and pour into a baked pie crust. Cover with meringue, if desired.
TIP: The crust for a coconut
pie should always be baked in a deep pan.
