- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 3/4 cup buttermilk

3. For filling:In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar and flour. Remove from heat; set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly with a whisk until combined. Add buttermilk and vanilla; whisk until just combined. Gradually whisk buttermilk mixture into butter mixture until smooth. Stir in coconut.
5. Place partially baked pastry shell on the oven rack. Carefully pour filling into shell. Cover edge of pie with foil to prevent overbrowning.

Cover and store any remaining pie in the refrigerator within 2 hours. Let chilled pie stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Makes 8 servings.
Delicilous pie. Coconut forms a crisp, crunchy crust on top with creamy custard filling underneath. Buttermilk gives a nice pleasant tang. Easy and looks delicious. Made in 8 inch crust which was perfect, nice, deep filling. Emily in Michigan
