I needed to make a dessert for church this evening, and I didn’t want to go back out to the grocery store. So the hunt was on for a recipe that I had all of the ingredients to make. I found a coconut pie recipe on the back of a bag of Baker’s coconut and thought I had all of the necessaries. “Thought” being the operative word there. I didn’t actually have any “all-purpose baking mix,” and I only had three eggs. I know I have a recipe somewhere for a do-it-yourself Bisquik, but I also had a box of Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix sitting on the shelf.
This is one of the easiest pies I’ve ever made (it’s made in a blender. a blender!), and it was gone by the end of the evening. Three cheers for three-egg pancake pie!
