Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges as desired. Chill until ready to fill.
- Whisk the eggs, then whisk in the flour and sugar until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter, both extracts, salt, and buttermilk. Stir in 2 cups of coconut.
- Place prepared pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour filling into pie and carefully place in the oven. Cover the edges of the pie crust with strips of aluminum foil or a pie crust shield.
- Bake pie for 40-45 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the shield from the outside of the crust so the edges will brown. Cool completely before serving.
- Optional for serving: place remaining 1/2 cup of coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for just a few minutes, stirring often, until it starts to turn brown.
- This can also be done in a skillet over medium-low heat. Let cool.
- Serve pie with whipped cream or Cool Whip and toasted coconut.
