Preparation Time: 30 minutes

1. In large saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt. Add milk and whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat until beginning to simmer, stirring constantly. After the mixture begins to simmer, cook an additional 2 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl, slightly beat egg yolks. Slowly add one cup of the hot milk mixture to egg yolks and stir to temper them. Add eggs back into saucepan and simmer 3 minutes. Stirring constantly.

3. Add coconut and vanilla and stir. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate overnight.

4. Serve with whipped cream and garnished with toasted coconut. Alternately, pie can be topped with meringue: whip remaining egg whites until soft peaks form. Add two teaspoons of sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Top pie and bake 7-8 minutes in a 400 degree oven, until slightly browned.
