Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- to taste Fresh whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and swirl the butter around the skillet to evenly coat the inside. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until smooth and pale, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
Stir in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Carefully pour the batter into the buttered skillet. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the skillet pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar and serve slices warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with fresh whipped cream.
