Directions
Coconut Pie, This recipe always reminds me of Christmas My ex-husbands aunt always made it at Christmas time, and this is her recipe , Absolutely wonderful, & definitely something I’d make again! Loved the coconut throughout, & although I’m not usually one to make meringue for a pie, I did so this time & it was delicious! This recipe goes into my favorites file! Thanks so much for posting it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag], So good! I almost didn`t get to taste this! It disssapeared so fast I got to scrap some for the dish! I made this for the glutin free challange ZWT 2011 Stirring together the 1/2 cup gluten-free flour, 1/2 cup gluten free almond meal, 2 tablespoons sweet rice flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of salt Cut 6 tablespoons butter into chunks and, using your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients to form a coarse meal Make a well Break the egg into the well Add the 1 tablespoon lemon juice Use a fork to stir from the center, working the flour into the egg to form a soft dough Shape into a disk and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes Heat the oven to 400 degrees Grease a pie pan and press the pastry into it in an even layer If the dough seems very sticky, put a piece of parchment paper on top and pat it out to smooth, then remove it Bake for 12 minutes Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely The crust didn`t work No fault of the recipe Thanks
