Fear Not...Here it is ;

               COCONUT CREAM PIE

           One 9" pastry crust baked golden

 In a saucepan  mix;

                2/3 cup white granulated sugar
                2 1/2 tbs. cornstarch
                1 tbs. flour
                stir in 3 cups milk
Cook over moderate heat until mixture coats a spoon or looks to have thickened
a bit...stir constantly
                slightly beat 3 egg yolks (best done ahead 'cause
                you're busy now, Right)
                add a bit of hot mixture to yolks  and stir well then add all
the yolk mix to the pot...stir on heat until thick.
                add 3/4 cup grated ( medium) coconut
                  ( I like my coconut toasted)
                1 tbs. butter
                1  1/2 tsp. vanilla
Stir well and pour into baked pie shell...you could make a meringue with the
whites but we prefer whipped cream...I make meringues later
or coconut meringues......enjoy.
