Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
4. Add the melted butter, self-rising flour, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well blended.
5. Fold in the shredded coconut gently, ensuring it’s evenly mixed throughout.
6. Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie dish.
7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the pie is golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. It will continue to set as it cools, creating its signature layered custard texture.
