Just look on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa for the cake and frosting recipe!  Some things are better left alone!

French Coconut Pie

This is the coconut we we serve at The Brenham House!

Patricia loves Coconut Pie so I told her I would post it....It is very simple.

4 T. melted butter

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 c. sugar

1 T. flour

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. milk or 1/2 and 1/2

1 1/4 c. coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients except the coconut, in a large bowl.  No need for a mixer.  In a prepared unbaked pie shell spread your coconut evenly, and pour in the mixture!  That simple.... bake for 45-60 minutes until set.  I use a convection oven for even baking and it usually takes about 38-40 minutes.  Enjoy and think of us at The Brenham House!
