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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch pie dish with 1 teaspoon of butter to ensure the pie doesn't stick.

Step 3

Melt 60 grams of butter and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 5

Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking well to combine.

Step 6

Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until there are no lumps.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the greased pie dish. The mixture will be quite liquid—this is normal.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
