COCONUT CREAM PIE
This recipe was passed down from my mother...just an old-fashioned coconut cream pie. A little more time consuming than some of the modern recipes, but well worth the effort. I categorized this as medium because I do not have exact cooking times, and knowing when it is "thick" is sometimes trial and error until you've done it...

Steps:
- 1. Mix sugar, flour and milk in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly till bubbly around the edges.
- 2. Remove from heat. Stir a little (maybe a half cup - I never measure) of the hot mixture into the egg yolks and mix together. Add back into saucepan and continue cooking and stirring till thick.
- 3. Remove from heat, add vanilla and 1 1/2 cups coconut.
- 4. Pour into baked pastry shells. Top with meringue and sprinkle with remaining coconut.
- 5. Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned.
- 6. NOTE: I make my meringue by beating the egg whites till foamy, adding 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar. Continue beating till mixture starts to thicken, then add 6 tblsp. sugar, one spoonful at a time, beating after each addition. Beat till stiff peaks form. Pile on top of filling, making sure to spread all the way to the edge of the crust.
