Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 90 grams Shredded coconut
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with 1 teaspoon of butter to ensure the pie doesn't stick.
Melt 60 grams of butter and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking well to combine.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until there are no lumps.
Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the greased pie dish. The mixture will be quite liquid—this is normal.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 15-20 minutes to let it set. It will create its own layers during baking, with a firm base, creamy center, and golden top.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
