Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Dash salt
3 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups sweetened shredded coconut, divided
1 pie shell (9 inches), baked
MERINGUE:
3 large egg whites
6 tablespoons sugar

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Combine egg yolks and milk; stir into dry ingredients until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and 1 cup coconut. Pour hot filling into pie shell.
For meringue, beat egg whites in a bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until mixture forms stiff glossy peaks and sugar is dissolved. Spread meringue over hot filling. Sprinkle with remaining coconut.
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Cool. Store in the refrigerator.
