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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the buttermilk, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold in the shredded sweetened coconut.

Step 7

Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish and pour the filling evenly into the crust.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for garnish.
