Coconut: Coconut Pie

Source of Recipe

Inn of the Bay, St. Lucia


Recipe Introduction

You'll need to purchase a fresh coconut for this one.

List of Ingredients

1/2 cup Butter
2 cups flour
3/4 Cup sugar (brown or white)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons water

Filling:
1 coconut
1 cup brown or white sugar
1 cup water




Recipe

Mix dry ingredients with butter until mixture is crumbly, then add water. Dough should be slightly sticky. Pat into 9” pan, reserving enough dough to make a latticework top.


Grate coconut (coarsely) into a pot; add sugar and water and heat until mixture becomes syrupy. Pour into crust and make latticework over the top by rolling out thin strips of reserved dough. Bake at 350 degrees, covered with foil the first half hour, then uncovered until golden brown.
