Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the buttermilk, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Gently fold in the shredded sweetened coconut.
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish and pour the filling evenly into the crust.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for garnish.
