Directions:
In a sauce pan combine flour, salt, sugar, and slowly whisk in milk. Cook over medium heat; stirring until bubbly. Cook 2 minutes and then remove from heat. Stir small amount of hot mixture into eggs (called tempering). Return mixture to sauce pan and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Add coconut and pour into COOKED crust. Top with meringue and bake at 350º for 12-15 minutes; turning half way through for even browning.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I add 2 extra tbsp. of flour because I prefer a thicker filling. This is also great as just a coconut pudding, but don't add any extra flour for that
