Me-oh-my, I love pie

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!

Amazing Coconut Pie
2 cups milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose baking mix
4 eggs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups Baker’s Angel Flake coconut

Place milk, sugar, baking mix, eggs, butter and vanilla in blender container; cover. Blend on low speed 3 minutes. Pour into greased 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle with coconut.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until center of pie is set and top is golden brown. Serve warm or cool on a wire rack. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.
