Pie: In a saucepan, put milk and butter; scald and set aside. Combine sugar and flour in a separate bowl, and mix well with a spoon. Add enough milk to dry ingredients to mix well, and then pour back into saucepan to cook. Separate the 4 eggs. Beat egg yolks with fork and add to the combined mixture. Continue to cook slowly until it reaches proper thickness; remove from heat and add coconut and vanilla.
