FRENCH COCONUT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and flour with the melted butter. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the buttermilk and vanilla and combine again. Stir in the coconut.
• Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until lightly brown and the center of the pie doesn't jiggle when shaken lightly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out moist but not covered with custard. The coconut will rise to form a top crust during baking. Set the pie in the pan on a wire rack and cool completely before serving.
