I made this last night after dinner at our home with friends because we all had our sweet-tooth on. It's gone...

1 c. white sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/2 t. salt

1 heaping T. flour

1 1/3 c. flaked coconut

2 eggs

1/4 c. butter (approx.)

1 c. milk

1 t. vanilla

1 deep-dish unbaked 9" pastry shell

Beat eggs; add sugars, salt, and flour (beat together). Add milk and fold in coconut. Pour into pie shell. Slice butter into thin pats and place over top of filling. Cover crust with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes, until firm.

NOTE: This pie may not be done after 45 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean. If not, reduce heat to 250 degrees and bake an additional 30 minutes, checking it periodically with the toothpick.

Also, this pie can be too sweet for some. If that is the case for you, use unsweetened coconut.
