INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups scalded milk
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 9-inch baked pastry shell
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut

DIRECTIONS

• Mix 2/3 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually stir in milk into sugar mixture and set over hot water. Stir until thoroughly thickened. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, stirring a few times to keep smooth.
• Blend a small amount of hot mixture into slightly beaten egg yolks. Combine with mixture in double boiler. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add butter and vanilla. Fold in coconut to mix well.
• Cool slightly. Pour into cooled, baked pastry shell. Cover with meringue made by gradually beating 1/3 cup sugar into stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in moderate oven (350°F.) until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Chill.
• Note: Meringue may be omitted and pie served with whipped cream. If pie is made with only 2 eggs, reduce sugar to 3/4 cup.
