INGREDIENTS
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups milk
* 4 eggs
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 cup flaked coconut
* 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
DIRECTIONS
* In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt over a medium heat; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from heat.
* Separate the egg yolks from whites. Beat the egg yolks slightly. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into yolks. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and bring the entire mixture to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes before removing the pan from heat.
* Stir butter, vanilla, and coconut into the hot mixture. Pour the hot filling into the baked pie crust. Cool. Cover and chill to store the pie if not serving immediately.
