Impossible Pie

Why impossible? 
Because, it transforms from a lumpy liquid to a three-layered delight in just under an hour.

Please note, I view any additions, including the scandalous suggestion of topping with flaked almonds, as besmirching the purity of the dish. I’ve said my piece and we’ll move on now.

ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (75g) plain flour
  • 1 cup (220g) caster sugar
  • 1 cup (80g) desiccated coconut
  • 4 eggs, beaten lightly
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 125 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cup (500ml) milk

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease a deep 24cm (9½in) pie dish.

Combine sifted flour, sugar, coconut, eggs, vanilla, butter and half the almonds if using in a large bowl. Gradually add milk, stirring, until combined. Pour mixture into the dish.

Bake for 45-50 minutes. It should be golden on top with no discernible liquid appearing when poked.
